The gut‐microbiota‐brain axis: Focus on gut steroids

open access: yesJournal of Neuroendocrinology, EarlyView.
Abstract There are over 1000 varieties of steroids that have been reported in nature, including the endogenous sex steroid hormones (i.e., progesterone, testosterone, and 17β‐estradiol) and corticosteroids which are mainly synthesized by gonads and adrenals, respectively.

Circadian Corticosterone Profile in Laying Hens (Gallus gallus domesticus)

open access: yesAnimals
Measurement of blood corticosterone concentrations has been established as an indicator for assessment of acute distress. Therefore, knowledge on physiological fluctuations is required, but previous studies allow little conclusion on daily fluctuations ...

Neuroactive steroid exposure impacts neurodevelopment: Comparison of human and rodent placental contribution

open access: yesJournal of Neuroendocrinology, EarlyView.
Abstract The placenta is a fetal endocrine organ that secretes many neuroactive factors, including steroids, that play critical roles in brain development. The study of the placenta‐brain axis and the links between placental function and brain development represents an emerging research area dubbed “neuroplacentology.” The placenta drives many ...

Single‐cell genomics meets systems neuroscience: Insights from mapping the brain circuitry of stress

open access: yesJournal of Neuroendocrinology, EarlyView.
Abstract Responses to external and internal dangers is essential for survival and homeostatic regulation. Hypothalamic corticotropin‐releasing hormone neurons (CRHNs) play a pivotal role in regulating neuroendocrine responses to fear and stress.

Research Note: Quantifying corticosterone in turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) feathers using ELISA

open access: yesPoultry Science, 2020
The measurement of corticosterone in feathers is an appealing tool for assessing glucocorticoids in wild and domestic bird species. Feather corticosterone measurements can be performed noninvasively and can provide a means for comparing glucocorticoid ...

Comparison of Transcriptional Activation by Corticosteroids of Human MR (Ile-180) and Human MR Haplotype (Ile180Val) [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
While the classical function of human mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) is to regulate sodium and potassium homeostasis through aldosterone activation of the kidney MR, the MR also is highly expressed in the brain, where the MR is activated by cortisol in response to stress. Here, we report the half-maximal response (EC50) and fold-activation by cortisol,

Does It Matter What Keeps You Awake? Effects of Two Different Sleep Deprivation Methods on Object‐Location Memory and Hippocampal c‐Fos Expression in Mice

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In sleep research, various sleep deprivation methods have been used to examine the effects of sleep loss on memory. However, studies often overlook the distinct impacts each method may have on activity in specific neuronal circuits and memory storage.
