Frontiers in cellular neuroscience

Kusek M, Tokarska A, Siwiec M, Gadek-Michalska A, Szewczyk B, Hess G, Tokarski K.
PMID: 28515682
Front Cell Neurosci. 2017 May 03;11:127. doi: 10.3389/fncel.2017.00127. eCollection 2017.

Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH)-synthesizing parvocellular neuroendocrine cells (PNCs) of the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) play a key role in the activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical (HPA) axis. Several studies have demonstrated that synaptic inputs to these cells may undergo stress-related enhancement...

Impact of Adiposity and Fat Distribution on the Dynamics of Adrenocorticotropin and Cortisol Rhythms.

Current obesity reports

Roelfsema F, Pereira AM, Veldhuis JD.
PMID: 26626915
Curr Obes Rep. 2014 Dec;3(4):387-95. doi: 10.1007/s13679-014-0118-7.

Obesity impacts many hormonal systems, including pituitary hormones, as well as insulin and leptin. In this review we discuss articles which investigate the influence of obesity on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Different techniques have been used to assess the...

Cent Eur J Immunol. 2014;39(3):294-8. doi: 10.5114/ceji.2014.45938. Epub 2014 Oct 14.

Severe and life-threatening side effects can occur in patients receiving allergen-specific immunotherapy (SIT), and recombinant allergens made from cDNA have been used in clinical trials for ten years and appear promising for SIT. The aim of this study is...

Intermittent Access to Ethanol Induces Escalated Alcohol Consumption in Primates.

Journal of addictive behaviors, therapy & rehabilitation

Lindell SG, Schwandt ML, Suomi SJ, Rice KC, Heilig M, Barr CS.
PMID: 29082267
J Addict Behav Ther Rehabil. 2017 Apr;6(1). doi: 10.4172/2324-9005.1000163. Epub 2017 Apr 07.

BACKGROUND: Escalation of voluntary alcohol drinking is characteristic of alcohol addiction and can be induced in rodents using intermittent access to alcohol. This model has been used to evaluate candidate therapeutics, but key systems involved in the transition into...

Regulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis by neuropeptides.

Hormone molecular biology and clinical investigation

Aguilera G.
PMID: 25961271
Horm Mol Biol Clin Investig. 2011 Oct 01;7(2):327-36. doi: 10.1515/HMBCI.2011.123.

The major endocrine response to stress occurs via activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, leading ultimately to increases in circulating glucocorticoids, which are essential for the metabolic adaptation to stress. The major players in the HPA axis are the...

Prepro-TRH 178-199 inhibits histamine- or restraint stress-induced activation of corticotropin releasing hormone production in rat hypothalamus.

Obesity research & clinical practice

Fukagawa T, Fukagawa K, Gotoh K, Noguchi H, Yoshimatsu H.
PMID: 24351449
Obes Res Clin Pract. 2007 May;1(2):I-II. doi: 10.1016/j.orcp.2007.01.002.

Under restraint stress conditions, prepro-thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) 178-199 suppresses adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) secretion from the rat pituitary, which indicates that prepro-TRH 178-199 is a candidate endogenous corticotropin releasing inhibitory factor (CRIF). Restraint stress also activates the release of...

Molecular mechanisms of glucocorticoid receptor sensitivity and relevance to affective disorders.

Acta neuropsychiatrica

Juruena MF, Cleare AJ, Bauer ME, Pariante CM.
PMID: 26983771
Acta Neuropsychiatr. 2003 Dec;15(6):354-67. doi: 10.1046/j.1601-5215.2003.00051.x.

Changes in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical (HPA) system are characteristic of depression, and in the majority of these patients these result in HPA axis hyperactivity. This is further supported by the reduced sensitivity to the inhibitory effects of the glucocorticoid, dexamethasone...

Intravenous Corticotropin-releasing Hormone Administration Increases Esophageal Electrical Sensitivity in Healthy Individuals.

Journal of neurogastroenterology and motility

Yamasaki T, Tomita T, Takimoto M, Kondo T, Tozawa K, Ohda Y, Oshima T, Fukui H, Watari J, Miwa H.
PMID: 28992676
J Neurogastroenterol Motil. 2017 Oct 30;23(4):526-532. doi: 10.5056/jnm17067.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: When a person is experiencing stress, corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) can modulate gut physiologies, such as visceral sensation or gastrointestinal motility, and its intravenous administration mimics stress-induced physiological changes. However, the influence of CRH on the esophagus is yet...

Peripheral endotoxin causes long-lasting changes in locus coeruleus activity via IL-1 in the brain.

Acta neuropsychiatrica

Borsody MK, Weiss JM.
PMID: 26984577
Acta Neuropsychiatr. 2002 Dec;14(6):303-21. doi: 10.1034/j.1601-5215.2002.140605.x.

Activity of locus coeruleus (LC) neurons, the major noradrenergic cell-body group in the brain whose axons give rise to approximately 70% of norepinephrine (NE) in the brain, is believed to play an important role in attention/vigilance, cognitive functions and...

Adrenal Cushing's syndrome in pregnancy: Clinical and molecular characterisation of a case.

Obstetric medicine

Trinh A, Chan I, Alexiadis M, Pell M, Kumar B, Fuller PJ.
PMID: 27512490
Obstet Med. 2016 Mar;9(1):43-5. doi: 10.1177/1753495X15618542. Epub 2015 Dec 09.

BACKGROUND: Cushing's syndrome is rare during pregnancy and more commonly due to adrenal pathology, in contrast to the non-pregnant population. Increased levels of cortisol-binding globulin and placental production of corticotropin-releasing hormone and adrenocorticotropic hormone complicate the diagnostic strategies usually...
