Sex‐Specific Involvement of Gut Microbiota in Behavioral and Endocrine Responses to Chronic Predator Odor in Brandt's Voles

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
18 days of predator odor exposure altered gut microbiota, increased anxiety‐like behaviors, and elevated hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis activity in Brandt's voles, with males showing behavioral habituation and females remaining sensitive. Cecal microbiota transplantation experiments confirmed that only female recipients of microbiota from predator‐

Atrial natriuretic peptide counteracts aldosterone secretion by preventing acute angiotensin II‐induced cAMP signalling

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Aldosterone plays a key role in blood pressure and volume regulation. Enhanced aldosterone secretion contributes to cardiovascular and renal diseases. Therefore, inhibitors of aldosterone receptors and synthase are essential drugs for the treatment of hypertension and heart failure.

A Ten Year Overview of Adrenal Vein Sampling in Croatia: Insights and Outcomes

Clinical Endocrinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Adrenal vein sampling (AVS) is the gold standard for subtype differentiation in primary aldosteronism (PA), yet it remains technically demanding and resource intensive. However, data on long‐term performance, learning curves, and concordance with imaging in real‐world clinical practice are limited.

Glucocorticoids and HPA axis regulation in the stress–obesity connection: A comprehensive overview of biological, physiological and behavioural dimensions

Clinical Obesity, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2025.
Summary Chronic stress, characterized by increased long‐term exposure to the glucocorticoid hormone cortisol, is increasingly linked to obesity development. Still, various knowledge gaps persist, including on underlying pathophysiological mechanisms. The aim of the current review is to provide the latest insights on the connection between stress and ...

Importance of Hypercortisolism in BP Control, Cardiovascular Risk and in Patients With Difficult‐to‐Control Hypertension: An Overview for Primary Care Physicians

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims Hypertension remains one of the most prevalent and consequential modifiable cardiovascular risk factors worldwide, affecting approximately 1.28 billion adults globally and nearly half of the United States population. Despite the availability of effective therapies, optimal blood pressure control is achieved in fewer than one in four ...

Hypercortisolism: Causes, Consequences and Clinical Significance – A Review of Pathophysiology

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hypercortisolism or Cushing syndrome is a heterogeneous clinical spectrum caused by chronic glucocorticoid excess, ranging from exogenous Cushing syndrome to rare endogenous aetiologies and the increasingly recognised entity of mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS). Physiological cortisol production is tightly regulated by the hypothalamic–

Updates on intra‐articular corticosteroid administration in horses

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Intra‐articular (IA) corticosteroid administration in equine athletes has gained increased attention recently, particularly in racing. Despite widespread corticosteroid use in equine practice for decades, there are still a lack of equine‐specific studies to address key questions related to their use.
