The corticotropin-releasing hormone network and the hypothalamic-pituitary- adrenal axis: Molecular and cellular mechanisms involved
(Karger, 2011-07)
Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) plays a key role in adjusting the basal and stress-activated hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA). CRH is also widely distributed in extrahypothalamic circuits, where it acts as ...
Is Suppression of Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis Significant During Clinical Treatment of Phimosis?
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2010)
Purpose: Corticoids have been an option for phimosis treatment since 1993. However, long-term use or repeated cycles pose a concern regarding drug absorption and consequent systemic effects. The aim of this study was to ...
THE HYPOTHALAMIC‐PITUITARY‐ADRENAL AXIS IN INFANTILE MALNUTRITION
(1990)
We studied the circadian rhythm and the response of the hypothalamic‐pituitary‐adrenal (HPA) axis to ovine corticotrophin releasing hormone (oCRH) stimulation and dexamethasone suppression in 32 children with grade II‐III ...
The prednisolone suppression test in depression: Dose-response and changes with antidepressant treatment
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2010)
Depressed patients have reduced glucocorticoid receptor (GR) function, as demonstrated by resistance to the suppressive effects of the synthetic glucocorticoid hormone, and GR agonist, dexamethasone. We have developed a ...
Heat stress impairs performance parameters, induces intestinal injury, and decreases macrophage activity in broiler chickens
(POULTRY SCIENCE ASSOC INC, 2010)
Studies on environmental consequences of stress on animal production have grown substantially in the last few years for economic and animal welfare reasons. Physiological, hormonal, and immunological deficits as well as ...
Cancer and stress: NextGen strategies
Chronic stress is well-known to cause physiological distress that leads to body balance perturbations by altering signaling pathways in the neuroendocrine and sympathetic nervous systems. This increases allostatic load, ...
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation reduces cortisol concentrations in bulimic disorders
(Cambridge Univ Press, 2011-06-01)
Background. in people with bulimic eating disorders, exposure to high-calorie foods can result in increases in food craving, raised subjective stress and salivary cortisol concentrations. This cue-induced food craving can ...
Interleukin-6 production and deregulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary- adrenal axis in patients with major depressive disorders
(2006)
The present study was designed to determine whether an association exists between HPA activity and cytokine production in major depression (MD). In 9 patients with MD and 11 control subjects of both sexes, all drug-free, ...
Crossover of the hypothalamic pituitary–adrenal/interrenal, –thyroid, and –gonadal axes in testicular development
(Frontiers, 2014-08)
Besides the well-known function of thyroid hormones (THs) for regulating metabolism, ithas recently been discovered that THs are also involved in testicular development in mam-malian and non-mammalian species. THs, in ...
Different regulation of cortisol and corticosterone in the subterranean rodent Ctenomys talarum: Responses to dexamethasone, angiotensin II, potassium, and diet
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2019-03)
When harmful environmental stimuli occur, glucocorticoids (GCs), cortisol and corticosterone are currently used to evaluate stress status in vertebrates, since their secretions are primarily associated to an increased ...
