Abstract
Corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) is a peptide that is released from the hypothalamus and in widespread areas of the brain following exposure to stressors. It is considered to be a mediator of many of the effects of stress, and its analgesic properties have been demonstrated in many studiKeywords
