Thyroid hormone therapy modulates hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis.
To observe the influence of thyroid hormone therapy on hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, a group of 14 athyreotic women due to thyroid cancer treatment were studied before and after thyroid suppression therapy with thyroxine (T4). Changes in plasma adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) and cortisol levels in response to human corticotropin-releasing hormone (hCRH; 100µg, i.v.) were estimated under...
متن کاملSpinal and supraspinal analgesic effects of Nimodipine : The role of Hypothalamo-Pituitary-Adrenal(HPA) axis .
Nimodipine, an L-type calcium channel blocker, can induce analgesia. However, it is not clear that this analgesic effect is at the level of spinal or supraspinal pain pathway. In addition, it has been reported that the analgesic effect of nifedipine, another L-type calcium channel blocker is related to the HPA axis, but there is no report indicating the role of this axis in the analgesic eff...
متن کاملStudy of hypothalamo pituitary adrenal axis in frail elderly subjects.
BACKGROUND Frail elderly people are at increased risk of death and disability from minor environmental stresses such as infection because they do not have the reserves to respond and maintain adequate homeostasis Studies have shown that elderly patients had a significantly smaller response to ACTH stimulation test. Due to paucity of data regarding HPA axis functioning in frail elderly in Indian...
متن کاملIntroduction to the Hypothalamo- Pituitary-adrenal (hpa) Axis
OBJECTIVES: • Identify appropriate hypothalamic factors that control the secretion of each of the anterior pituitary hormones, and describe their route of transport from the hypothalamus to the anterior pituitary. • Contrast the anterior and posterior pituitary lobes with respect to cell types, vascular supply, development, and innervation (hypothalamic). • Diagram the short-loop and long-loop ...
متن کاملThe growth hormone secretagogue hexarelin stimulates the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis via arginine vasopressin.
GH secretagogues (GHSs) act via specific receptors in the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland to release GH. GHSs also stimulate the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis via central mechanisms probably involving CRH or arginine vasopressin (AVP). We studied the effects of hexarelin, CRH, and desmopressin, an AVP analog, on the stimulation of the HPA axis in 15 healthy young male volunteers...
