What Some Research Shows About Stress and Low T. Over the years, some studies have suggested that the stress hormone cortisol and the sex hormone testosterone work against each other. This has led to the theory that stress may cause infertility and loss of libido in men by inhibiting testosterone.
When stress goes up, cortisol levels go up. And it's often repeated that obese people have higher cortisol levels than lean people. Cortisol is a hormone in a group of steroids commonly referred to as glucocorticoids. Cortisol is a hormone produced by the adrenal gland as a part of your daily hormonal cycle. However, it is also a key hormone involved in the bodyâs response to stress, both physical and emotional. Cortisol increases blood sugar levels, increases blood pressure, and suppresses the immune system, which is part of the bodyâs fight-or-flight response that is essential for survival. Your hypothalamus, via the pituitary gland, directs the adrenal glands to secrete both cortisol and adrenaline.
