Glycyrrhizin-induced Inhibition of the Pituitary-adrenal Stress Response
نویسنده
چکیده
Glycyrrhizin decreased the resistance of intact male mice to prolonged exposure to cold (8 hours at 5 degrees C.) and it decreased the ability of intact male rats to mobilize glucose when subjected to 48 hours of fasting. It is suggested that glycyrrhizin, like desoxycorticosterone, depresses the output of ACTH.

Effect of glycyrrhizin on the suppressive action of cortisone on the pituitary adrenal axis.
The effects of glycyrrhizin on the pituithry adrenal axis were studied. Isolated rat anterior pituitary glands were incubated with 14C-phenylalanine and biosynthetic activity of corticotropin in the pituitary was estimated. The rate of incorporation of radioactivity from 14C-phenylalanine into corticotropin fraction in the rat anterior pituitary was increased specifically by prior adrenalectomy...
متن کاملDesoxycorticosterone-mimetic Action of Ammoniated Glycyrrhizin in Rats
The desexycorticosterone-mimetic action of ammoniated glycyrrhizin on electrolyte and water metabolism and on pituitary-adrenal function, was demonstrated in rats. Retention of sodium and water was observed in both intact and adrenalectomized rats during 4 hour minerosteroid assays, the degree of retention being a function of log dose. In intact rats, the antidiuretic effect of glycyrrhizin was...
متن کاملHypothalamus Pituitary Adrenal axis and stimulatory G proteins signaling role in nociceptive changes induced by forced swim stress
Introduction: Different mechanisms are involved in stress induced analgesia (SIA) and hyperalgesia (SIH). Repeated stress induces development of tolerance to SIA. The role of HPA axis and Gs signaling pathway in these effects are investigated in the current study. Methods: Forced swim stress (5 min/day) in water (20±1 ºC) was employed to adult male Wistar rats (200-250 g). The nociceptive t...
متن کاملPnm-12: Can Stress Lead to Infertility?
Background: The role that stress plays in infertility remains controversial and despite medical advances a large percentage of infertility remains unexplained. Clinicians and researchers consistently report that infertile women view infertility and its treatment as extremely stressful. Basic science has elucidated the linkages between the hypothalamic-pituitary axis (HPA) and hypothalamic-pitui...

Objective(s): To investigate the effects of paeoniflorin (PEF) on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis feedback function of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). cSingle-prolonged stress (SPS) was used to establish a PTSD-like rat model. The contents of plasma corticosterone (CORT), adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH) and cortic...
