Concept 31: What is the name of hormone that regulates stress or fear?



The hormone that regulates stress or fear is called cortisol. It is produced by the adrenal glands in response to stress and is involved in the body's "fight or flight" response. Cortisol helps to regulate blood sugar levels, blood pressure, and the immune system, and plays an important role in the body's response to stress. When cortisol levels are chronically high due to ongoing stress, it can have negative effects on the body, including increased risk of health problems such as anxiety, depression, and cardiovascular disease.
