Neuroendocrine dysfunction has long been thought to be an important event in sepsis. In clinic, optimal management of the hormones could alleviate severe complications in sepsis. In this article, we review the dysfunction ofneuroendocrine system as well as autonomic nervous system in sepsis, and summarize the respective therapy strategies.展开更多
