:
Erythropoietin inhibits basal and stimulated corticotropin releasing hormone release from the rat hypothalamus via a nontranscriptional mechanism ... We observed that EPO ( 1-10 nm ) significantly reduced CRH release and, in parallel, increased intrahypothalamic CRH content

(Anemia...) :
These results show that CRF can directly or indirectly can suppress the extrarenal production of EPO by the liver and that this effect may further aggravate the anemia of CRF
