Technical details influence the diagnostic accuracy of the 1 mcg ACTH stimulation test

European Journal of Endocrinology, 2009
Objective To examine factors causing inadequate cortisol responses to the 1 mcg ACTH stimulation test. Design Random test assignment (by age and gender) at 0800h or 1600h Methods We recruited 20 healthy adults to each of three age groups ( 55 years; half

Complete lesion resection and early surgical intervention are favorable factors for long‐term seizure freedom in drug‐resistant epileptic spasms

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Epileptic spasms (ES) in children carry a high risk of neurodevelopmental delay, yet predictors of long‐term surgical outcome remain incompletely defined. This study aimed to evaluate seizure outcomes following epilepsy surgery and to identify independent prognostic factors for postoperative recurrence.

Gene array analysis of adrenal glands in broiler chickens following ACTH treatment

BMC Genomics, 2009
BackgroundDifference in adaptability responses to stress has been observed amongst bird species, strains, and individuals. Components of the HPA axis, one of the internal systems involved in homeostasis re-establishment following stress, could play a ...

Response to anti‐seizure medications in children carrying novel or previously reported HCN1 gene variants

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Variants in the HCN1 gene cause a syndrome of childhood epilepsy and developmental disability with a broad phenotypic range. Many affected children manifest with early infantile epileptic encephalopathy (EIEE) and highly drug‐resistant epilepsy.

Effect of Adrenocorticotropic Hormone Stimulation on Ischemia-modified Albumin Levels in vivo

JCRPE
INTRODUCTION: Ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) formation is associated with increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, while increased cortisol leads to decreased ROS levels.

Cortisol and adrenocorticotropic hormone concentrations in horses with systemic inflammatory response syndrome

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2019
Background Plasma adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and serum cortisol concentrations increase with illness‐associated stress. Dynamics of plasma ACTH and serum cortisol concentrations in adult horses with systemic illness are undocumented.

Maternal and infant gut microbiome

iMeta, EarlyView.
The maternal–infant continuum involves critical windows of host–microbiota co‐adaptation. Preconception, maternal and paternal microbiomes modulate immunity and reproduction. During pregnancy, a gut–placenta axis emerges, where microbial metabolites influence fetal growth or contribute to complications like gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM ...

Offspring Global DNA Methylation is not Affected by Parental Developmental Stress Experience in a Passerine Species

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rapid phenotypic change may be mediated by intergenerational transmission of early developmental experiences. In birds, exposure to glucocorticoids during early development can alter global DNA methylation and gene expression. However, DNA methylation is labile, and it is currently unclear whether the impacts of stress suffered during juvenile
