Chronic Stress, Acute Stress, and Depressive Symptoms x
Although life events continue to be the major focus o f stress research, recent studies suggest that chronic stress shouM be a more central focus. A n evaluation o f this issue is presented using data f rom a large community survey o f married men (n = 819) and women (n = 936). Results show that chronic stresses are more strongly related to depressive symptoms than acute stresses in all but one...
متن کاملEndocrine Modulation of Olfactory Responsiveness: Effects of the Orexigenic Hormone Ghrelin.
Finding food sources is a prerequisite for an acute food intake. This process is initiated by ghrelin released from X/A-like cells of the gastrointestinal tract. Because food finding often depends on olfaction, the question arises whether ghrelin may affect the responsiveness of the olfactory system. Monitoring odor-induced activation of the mouse olfactory epithelium via Egr1 expression reveal...
متن کاملThe calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) defends against hypercalcemia independently of its regulation of parathyroid hormone secretion.
The calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) controls parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion, which, in turn, via direct and indirect actions on kidney, bone, and intestine, maintains a normal extracellular ionized calcium concentration (Ca(2+)(o)). There is less understanding of the CaSR's homeostatic importance outside of the parathyroid gland. We have employed single and double knockout mouse models, na...
متن کاملThe orexigenic hormone acyl-ghrelin increases adult hippocampal neurogenesis and enhances pattern separation
An important link exists between intact metabolic processes and normal cognitive functioning; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. There is accumulating evidence that the gut hormone ghrelin, an orexigenic peptide that is elevated during calorie restriction (CR) and known primarily for stimulating growth hormone release, has important extra-hypothalamic functions, such as enhancin...
متن کاملPKC Defends Crown Against Munc13
Protein kinase C has long been thought to mediate DAG signaling at the synapse. Recently PKC has been supplanted by members of the Unc13 family as the predominant effectors of DAG signaling. Thanks to a study by Wierda and colleagues in this issue of Neuron, PKC returns to reclaim part of the kingdom: both pathways must be active to activate presynaptic potentiation.
