Cytokines such as interleukin-1, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha are the main circulating substances that affect the hypothalamus and initiate fever by increasing the hypothalamic set point for body temperature. These cytokines are released in response to pathogens or inflammation in the body.
The hypothalamus can be damaged by traumatic brain injury, tumors, infections, or stroke. Certain medical conditions, such as inflammation, autoimmune disorders, or genetic disorders, can also affect the hypothalamus. Drug or alcohol abuse can also have harmful effects on the hypothalamus.
