Potential mechanisms for the 'overload' threshold include critical occupancy of certain receptors, the ratio of occupancy of different receptors, the accumulation of products over time, or factors independent of receptor binding such as steroid displacement or the actions of peptides like corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) or adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH).
