Anorectic actions of prolactin-releasing peptide are mediated by corticotrophin-releasing hormone receptors
Prolactin-releasing peptide and corticotrophin-releasing hormone R-00402-2003.R1 2 Prolactin-releasing peptide (PrRP) reduces food intake and body weight, and modifies body temperature when administered centrally in rats, suggesting a role in energy homeostasis. However, the mediators of PrRP's actions are unknown. The present study, therefore, firstly examined the possible involvement of the a...
متن کاملRole of thyrotrophin releasing hormone and corticotrophin releasing factor in stress related alterations of gastrointestinal motor function.
There is a growing body of experimental and clinical evidence to indicate that stress influences gastrointestinal motility. The most common pattern of gastrointestinal motor alterations induced by a variety of different stress factors is that of delayed gastric emptying and accelerated colonic transit. Central administration of corticotrophin releasing factor mimics both of these effects. This ...
متن کاملAssociation study between corticotrophin-releasing hormone genomic region (8q13) and rheumatoid arthritis in the Spanish population.
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether the corticotrophin-releasing hormone (CRH) genomic region confers genetic susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in the Spanish population. METHODS DNA was obtained from 121 simplex RA families and 101 healthy controls, all from Spanish origin. Two microsatellites, CRHRA1 and CRHRA2, located 25 and 20 kb downstream respectively from the CRH gene were exam...
متن کاملBDNF and glucocorticoids regulate corticotrophin-releasing hormone (CRH) homeostasis in the hypothalamus.
Regulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis is critical for adaptation to environmental changes. The principle regulator of the HPA axis is corticotrophin-releasing hormone (CRH), which is made in the parventricular nucleus and is an important target of negative feedback by glucocorticoids. However, the molecular mechanisms that regulate CRH are not fully understood. Disruption ...
متن کاملExpression and signalling characteristics of the corticotrophin-releasing hormone receptors during the implantation phase in the human endometrium.
Corticotrophin-releasing hormone (CRH) has been identified in several peripheral tissues, including the female reproductive organs. CRH is expressed in the placenta, myometrium, epithelial endometrium and the endometrial stromal cells at all phases of the menstrual cycle. Similarly, CRH receptors are present in pregnant and non-pregnant myometrium, placenta and endometrium. Putative roles of CR...
