LIF and LIFR are functionally expressed in rodent tissues that are central to GC production: the hypothalamus [ 8 ] and pituitary [ 9 10 11 12 ] . LIF works in synergy with corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) in the hypothalamus to increase pituitary pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) and, ultimately, pituitary adrenocorticotrophin hormone (ACTH) [ 9 11 13 14 15 16 ] .
