Potential mechanisms for the physiological overload threshold include critical occupancy of certain receptors, a ratio of occupancy of different receptors, accumulation of products over time, displacement of other steroids from their ligands, or actions of peptides elsewhere in the HPA cascade such as corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) or adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH).
