The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis in critical illness: response to dexamethasone and corticotropin-releasing hormone.
Plasma ACTH and cortisol concentrations are frequently elevated in patients in intensive care units (ICU). To examine the functional integrity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis during critical illness, we evaluated prospectively 53 ICU patients in a general medical ICU. Thirty-one patients and 7 normal controls underwent an overnight dexamethasone suppression test (3 mg dexamethasone, ...
متن کاملThe Role of the Endocannabinoids in Suppression of the Hypothalamic- pituitary-adrenal Axis Activity by Doxepin
Objective(s) The mechanism(s) by which antidepressants regulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis remain elusive. The endocannabinoid system (eCBs) which exhibits antidepressant potential, appears to regulate the HPA axis activity. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the role of the eCBs in the action of doxepin including its effect on the HPA axis. Materials and Methods Male Wist...
متن کاملCognitive correlates of hypothalamic – pituitary – adrenal axis in major depression
www.expert-reviews.com ISSN 1744-6651 © 2011 Expert Reviews Ltd 10.1586/EEM.10.79 Alterations in hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis function, such as hypercortisolism and reduced feedback sensitivity, have been a prominent finding in neuroendocrine investigations of major depressive disorder (MDD). Cognitive impairments, particularly those concerning attention, memory and executive funct...
متن کاملMethamphetamine and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis
Psychostimulants such as methamphetamine (MA) induce significant alterations in the function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. These changes in HPA axis function are associated with altered stress-related behaviors and might contribute to addictive processes such as relapse. In this mini-review we discuss acute and chronic effects of MA (adult and developmental exposure) on the ...
متن کاملCritical features of acute stress-induced cross-sensitization identified through the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis output
Stress-induced sensitization represents a process whereby prior exposure to severe stressors leaves animals or humans in a hyper-responsive state to further stressors. Indeed, this phenomenon is assumed to be the basis of certain stress-associated pathologies, including post-traumatic stress disorder and psychosis. One biological system particularly prone to sensitization is the hypothalamic-pi...
