Sex-specific brain erythropoietin regulation of mouse metabolism and hypothalamic inflammation
(American Society for Clinical Investigation, 2020)
The blood hormone erythropoietin (EPO), upon binding to its receptor (EpoR), modulates high-fat diet-induced (HFO-induced) obesity in mice, improves glucose tolerance, and prevents white adipose tissue inflammation. ...
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 ...
The central nervous system acts as a transducer of stress-induced masculinization through corticotropin-releasing hormone b
(Company of Biologists, 2019-04)
Exposure to environmental stressors, like high temperature (HT), during early development of fish induces sex reversal of genotypic females. Nevertheless, the involvement of the brain in this process is not well clarified. ...
Ghrelin activates hypophysiotropic corticotropin-releasing factor neurons independently of the arcuate nucleus
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2016-05)
Previous work has established that the hormone ghrelin engages the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal neuroendocrine axis via activation of corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) neurons of the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus ...
