Background: Some health experts believe that endotoxin may involve a pathway to chronic fatigue syndrome and alterations in HPA function has been suggested as an important factor in the condtion.
Cox-1 may modulate HPA axis responses to pro-inflammatory responses in endothelial and vascular cells. Cox enzymes work inside cells responsible for inflammation but have other functions as well. (mednet.com) Link

HPA Dysregulation Negatively Influences Cognitive Function in the Elderly.
Title: HPA Dysregulation Negatively Influences Cognitive Function in the Elderly.
Summary: HPA axis dysregulation seems to be associated with low cognitive performance in the elderly. Slower cortisol elimination rates could predict cognitive decline affecting principally non-verbal functioning in men and verbal functioning in women. Interventions blocking this pathway may provide new therapies for blocking cognitive decline.
