Descriptor alostasis
Entry term(s) carga alostática
Scope note: Adaptación biológica, como el incremento de secreción de ADRENALINA en respuesta al esfuerzo, estrés o percepción del riesgo, seguido de una disminución durante la RELAJACIÓN. La alostasis permite alcanzar la estabilidad merced a la activación y desactivación de los sistemas alostáticos incluido el SISTEMA INMUNITARIO, el SISTEMA NERVIOSO NEUROVEGETATIVO y el SISTEMA NEUROENDOCRINO.
