DAX-1 (NR0B1) and steroidogenic factor-1 (SF-1, NR5A1) in human disease. [PDF]
DAX-1 (NR0B1) and SF-1 (NR5A1) are two nuclear receptor transcription factors that play a key role in human adrenal and reproductive development. Loss of DAX-1 function is classically associated with X-linked adrenal hypoplasia congenita.

Glucocorticoid-induced adrenal insufficiency [PDF]
Background: Glucocorticoids (GCs) are effective in treating many diseases and are widely used. However, glucocorticoid treatment can down-regulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and lead to glucocorticoid-induced adrenal insufficiency.

Glucocorticoid therapy for adrenal insufficiency: nonadherence, concerns and dissatisfaction with information [PDF]
Objective: Appropriate self‐management of glucocorticoid therapy (GC) is crucial for patients with adrenal insufficiency (AI). We aimed to describe patients’ self‐reported nonadherence to GC, evaluate perceived doubts about need for GC, concerns about ...

Genetic variation of TLR4 influences immunoendocrine stress response: an observational study in cardiac surgical patients [PDF]
Introduction: Systemic inflammation (e.g. following surgery) involves Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling and leads to an endocrine stress response. This study aims to investigate a possible influence of TLR2 and TLR4 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)

As many patients with inflammatory arthritis (IA) have chronic pain, understanding how to best assess and manage pain in IA is a priority. Comorbid depression is prevalent in adults with IA, affecting 15% to 39% of people. Although pain and depression are thought to be associated in IA, this concept is largely based on cross‐sectional data.

Modelling oral adrenal cortisol support [PDF]
A simplified mathematical model of oral hydrocortisone delivery in adrenal insufficiency is described; the model is based on three components (gastric hydrocortisone, free serum cortisol and bound serum cortisol) and is formulated in terms of linear kinetics, taking into account the dynamics of glucocorticoid-protein binding.

Mathematical Modelling of Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis Dynamics: A Review, a Novel Approach, and Future [PDF]
A novel mathematical model for the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis is proposed to comprehend the oscillations observed in hormone concentration and potential dysfunction within the HPA axis in stressful situation. This model integrates impact of hippocampal receptors on the secretion of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), an additional ...

Pubertal presentation in seven patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to P450 Oxidoreductase deficiency [PDF]
Context: P450 oxidoreductase (POR) is a crucial electron donor to all microsomal P450 cytochrome (CYP) enzymes including 17α-hydroxylase (CYP17A1), 21-hydroxylase (CYP21A2) and P450 aromatase.
