abstract：:Intense stress can be detrimental for tissue homeostasis and accelerates aging. On the other hand, repeated mild stresses can have beneficial and even life-prolonging effects. Hypersecretion of glucocorticoids (GCs) represents the major hormonal response to stress. However, besides its life-sustaining role, GC excess ...
