Abstract
The hypothalamic-pituitary neurosecretory system plays a key role in regulating the body's adaptive processes, ensuring a balance between neural and endocrine regulation. Extreme factors such as stress, physical exertion, temperature changes, hypoxia, and toxic environmental exposure significantly affect its functioning. In response to stressors, the system activates neuroendocrine regulation mechanisms aimed at maintaining homeostasis and adapting the body to adverse conditions. Imbalance in the functioning of this system can lead to metabolic disorders, immune dysfunction, and the development of pathological conditions such as chronic stress, depression, and endocrine disorders. This article examines the main adaptation mechanisms of the hypothalamic-pituitary system to extreme conditions, the influence of various factors on hormone secretion, as well as the possible consequences of prolonged dysregulation of this system. Studying these processes will help develop effective strategies for correcting and preventing stress-induced disorders.
