Corticotropin releasing factor receptor antagonists: potential future therapy in gastroenterology?
New corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) antagonists in irritable bowel disease (IBS) warrant testing, and CRF1 receptors may be a promising target for the treatment of IBS.
متن کاملLateral Hypothalamus Corticotropin Releasing Hormone Receptor-1 Inhibition Modulates Stress- Induced Anxiety Behavior
Stress is a reaction to unwanted events disturbing body homeostasis which influences its pathways and target areas. Stress affects the brain through the lateral hypothalamic area (LHA) orexinergic system that mediates the effect of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) through CRH receptor type 1 (CRHr1). Therefore, this study explores the outcome of stress exposure on anxiety development and t...
متن کاملLong-term weekly adrenocorticotropic hormone therapy for relapsed infantile spasms
Infantile spasms (IS) is the most recognized epileptic encephalopathy in early infancy, resulting in poor cognitive outcome. Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) therapy is the first-line therapy for IS, but the relapse rate is high. Relapse after initial ACTH therapy is a poor prognostic factor for longterm seizure control and outcome of cognitive function. Recently, several studies have reporte...
متن کاملCorticotropin-releasing hormone during pregnancy is associated with infant temperament.
During pregnancy corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) is released into maternal and fetal circulation from the placenta. Elevated concentrations of placental CRH are associated with spontaneous preterm birth, but the consequences for infant development, independent of birth outcome, are unknown. In this study, the effects of placental CRH on infant temperament were examined in a sample of 248 ...
متن کاملCorticotropin-releasing hormone physiology
Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), also known as corticotropin-releasing factor, is a highly conserved peptide hormone comprising 41 amino acid residues. Its name derives from its role in the anterior pituitary, where it mediates the release of corticotropin (ACTH) leading to the release of adrenocortical steroids. CRH is the major hypothalamic activator of the hypothalamic–pituitary– adren...
