Although there is a general conformity among stressors’ ability to provoke eventual release of GCs and catecholamines, the arrangement of responses of these hormonal signals fluctuates depending on factors such as the type of stressor, the current physical state on the organism, arousal/appraisal, and the use of psychological/behavioral coping mechanisms (Goldstein and Kopin, 2007; see also Chapter 29). In addition, each type of stressor is proposed to have its own neurochemcial identity, such as variations in the ratio of CRH/AVP release or variations in interactions between GCs and other transcription factors during negative feedback, which result in an altered picture of the overall stress response depending on the type of stressor (Jessop, 1999).
