The inducible HO-1 produces CO under conditions of redox imbalance, such as oxidative stress and inflammation. On the other hand, HO-2 constitutively generates CO, primarily during the physiological turnover of heme. Extensive evidence indicates that CO exerts autocrine effects by targeting hemoproteins, including soluble guanylyl cyclase, cyclooxygenase, and cytochromes. Furthermore, CO regulates many biological processes within the brain, including mitochondrial biogenesis, potassium channel activity, mitogen-activated protein kinase and phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase\/Akt signaling. It also controls the activity of transcription factors, such as hypoxia-inducible factor-1 and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-\u03b3. Through these mechanisms, CO modulates inflammatory gene expression, promotes anti-apoptotic signaling, and contributes to local stress responses. Conversely, CO produced in the hypothalamus inhibits the stress-induced release of corticotropin-releasing hormone and arginine vasopressin under pro-inflammatory conditions, resulting in reduced adrenocorticotropin hormone release and cortisol secretion from the anterior pituitary and adrenal cortex, respectively. Moreover, hypothalamic CO acts in a paracrine manner to modulate glucocorticoid release during psychological stress, including restraint or water deprivation. Together, these findings support the view that endogenous CO is a key modulator of the stress axis, exerting pleiotropic effects that integrate neuroendocrine, immune, and metabolic responses.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/biom16060898","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,18]],"date-time":"2026-06-18T05:52:37Z","timestamp":1781761957000},"page":"898","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Carbon Monoxide: A Context-Dependent Regulator of the Stress Axis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Cesare","family":"Mancuso","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS, 00168 Rome, Italy"},{"name":"Department of Translational Medicine and Surgery, Section of Pharmacology, Universit\u00e0 Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Largo F.
