As mentioned in the previous section, women seem to have increased sensitivity to CRF in terms of HPA axis activation (Heuser et al., 1994; Kunugi et al., 2006) and increased CRF concentrations have been noted in the portal venous system and hypothalamus of aged female rats over males (Veldhuis et al., 2013).
