The hypothalamic-pituitary axis (HPA) is a part that comprises three essential components, such as adrenal gland, pituitary gland, and hypothalamus. It influences the functions of the thyroid gland, pituitary gland, and gonads directly. It helps to maintain homeostasis in the body. HPA activation occurs during the time of stress by releasing increased levels of cortisol hormone.
