Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) is expressed in the brain, immune cells and the gut, where gene expression is upregulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) 6 h after injection. Whether these changes are reflected by increased circulating levels of CRH and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) is unknown.
