adrenal axis (HPA), produces a significant increase in adrenomedullin (AdM) levels,
suggesting a regulatory or protective role for AdM in countering HPA activation that follows a
variety of stressors. Stressors can modulate the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines.
Interleukin (IL)-6 is a potent activator of the HPA and appears to play a pathogenic role in
conditions related to stress. In the present study, we investigated the administration of AdM …
