Neuroendocrine system

The neuroendocrine system.[1] [2]

Function[edit | edit source]

Metabolism[edit | edit source]

[3]

Immune system, stress and neuroendocrinology[edit | edit source]

[4]

Sleep[edit | edit source]

[5]

Stress and the HPA axis[edit | edit source]

Stress can refer to emotional (psychological) stress]] or physical stress, e.g. a tension or pulling on a part of the body.[6]

[7]

Hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal Axis[edit | edit source]

ME/CFS[edit | edit source]

Differential diagnoses[edit | edit source]

The following endocrine disorders are differential diagnosis that may need to be investigated before a diagnosis of ME is made:

Symptom recognition[edit | edit source]

The International Consensus Criteria for myalgic encephalomyelitis recognizes loss of thermostatic stability and intolerance of extremes of temperature as neuroendocrine symptoms involving the autonomic nervous system (ANS).[8]

Treatment[edit | edit source]

The clinicians' primer for the International Consensus Criteria for ME suggests that galangtamine and melatonin may improve HPA axis symptoms, and vitamin C has a role in maintaining healthy adrenal glands.[8]
