Corticotropin-releasing hormone links pituitary adrenocorticotropin gene expression and release during adrenal insufficiency.
Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH)-deficient (KO) mice provide a unique system to define the role of CRH in regulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Despite several manifestations of chronic glucocorticoid insufficiency, basal pituitary proopiomelanocortin (POMC) mRNA, adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) peptide content within the pituitary, and plasma ACTH concentrations...
متن کاملSteroid hormone mediated regulation of corticotropin-releasing hormone gene expression.
Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), a 41 amino acid polypeptide, is expressed in many regions of central nervous system and peripheral tissues and mediates many physiological functions. Abnormal production of CRH is involved in some pathological processes. Among various endogenous factors that modulate CRH production, steroid hormones control CRH production by regulating its gene transcripti...
متن کاملa comparison of teachers and supervisors, with respect to teacher efficacy and reflection
supervisors play an undeniable role in training teachers, before starting their professional experience by preparing them, at the initial years of their teaching by checking their work within the proper framework, and later on during their teaching by assessing their progress. but surprisingly, exploring their attributes, professional demands, and qualifications has remained a neglected theme i...
15 صفحه اولStimulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis with corticotropin releasing hormone in patients with psoriasis.
OBJECTIVE Psychocutaneous diseases constitute a large proportion of psychosomatic disorders, with psoriasis being one of the most typical cases. Though alteration of Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis function has been suggested as underlying several psychiatric disorders and psychosomatic diseases, there is little evidence of reduced response of the HPA axis in psoriasis after psychosoc...
