Ghrelin Indirectly Activates Hypophysiotropic CRF Neurons in Rodents

Ghrelin is a stomach-derived hormone that regulates food intake and neuroendocrine function by acting on its receptor, GHSR (Growth Hormone Secretagogue Receptor). Recent evidence indicates that a key function of ghrelin is to signal stress to the brain. It has been suggested that one of the potential stress-related ghrelin targets is the CRF (Corticotropin-Releasing Factor)-producing neurons o...

Failure to mount adaptive responses to stress results in dysregulation and cell death in the midbrain raphe.

Stress is a common trigger in affective disorder onset, yet the mechanism and predisposing factors of vulnerability remain unknown. Effective disease prevention requires a critical balance of responses within the serotonergic raphe nucleus, including a coordination of corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) actions at both of its receptors, CRF receptor-1 and CRF receptor-2. Mice deficient in CRF ...

Lateral 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...

The Importance of α-CT and Salt bridges in the Formation of Insulin and its Receptor Complex by Computational Simulation

Insulin hormone is an important part of the endocrine system. It contains two polypeptide chains and plays a pivotal role in regulating carbohydrate metabolism. Insulin receptors (IR) located on cell surface interacts with insulin to control the intake of glucose. Although several studies have tried to clarify the interaction between insulin and its receptor, the mechanism of this interaction r...
