Cortisol is the hormone that is involved in a negative feedback relationship with the anterior pituitary and the hypothalamus. When cortisol levels are high, it inhibits the release of CRH (corticotropin-releasing hormone) from the hypothalamus and ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) from the anterior pituitary, thus decreasing cortisol release. This negative feedback loop helps to maintain cortisol levels within a narrow range.
