Further Studies on Placental ACTH, Pituitary, and Adrenal-Hyaluronidase Relations
During the past several years, an investigation has been made of the relationships between various hormones of the adrenal cortex, the enzyme hyaluronidase, and its substrate hyaluronic acid, with specific reference to tissue permeability and collagen diseases. As the studies progressed, several problems were investigated: (i) which fractions of the adrenal cortex were responsible for the resul...
متن کاملHostile behavior during marital conflict alters pituitary and adrenal hormones.
We evaluated hormonal changes and problem-solving behaviors in 90 newlywed couples who were admitted to a hospital research unit for 24 hours. The subjects were selected on the basis of stringent mental and physical health criteria, and admissions were scheduled during the follicular phase of the woman's menstrual cycle.

متن کاملQuantitative relations between corruption and economic factors
We report quantitative relations between corruption level and economic factors, such as country wealth and foreign investment per capita, which are characterized by a power law spanning multiple scales of wealth and investment per capita. These relations hold for diverse countries, and also remain stable over different time periods. We also observe a negative correlation between level of corrup...
متن کاملA Quantitative Relationship between Signal Detection in Attention and Approach/Avoidance Behavior
This study examines how the domains of reward and attention, which are often studied as independent processes, in fact interact at a systems level. We operationalize divided attention with a continuous performance task and variables from signal detection theory (SDT), and reward/aversion with a keypress task measuring approach/avoidance in the framework of relative preference theory (RPT). Inde...

When the most common cause, exogenous glucocorticoid intake, is excluded, one is left with a group of disorders in which a tumor (or rarely hyperplastic tissue) either produces excess cortisol or stimulates excess cortisol production indirectly through overproduction of either...
