Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone: Biology and Therapeutic Opportunities [PDF]
In 1981, Wylie Vale, Joachim Spiess, Catherine Rivier, and Jean Rivier reported on the characterization of a 41-amino-acid peptide from ovine hypothalamic extracts with high potency and intrinsic activity stimulating the secretion of adrenocorticotropic ...

Crucial role of corticotropin-releasing hormone, corticotropin-releasing hormone -binding protein, mir-200c, and mir-181a in preterm delivery: A case-control study [PDF]
Background Preterm birth before 37 th wk of gestation is called premature birth. Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) and CRH-binding protein (BP) act on various maternal and fetal tissues during pregnancy, such as the myometrium, which regulates the ...

Peripheral nociceptors and their synaptic partners utilize neuropeptides for signal transmission. Such communication tunes the excitatory and inhibitory function of nociceptor-based circuits, eventually contributing to pain modulation.

Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone in Melanoma and Nonmelanoma Skin Cancer [PDF]
Conclusion: CRH does not necessarily correlate with the degree of malignancy, as semimalignant cancers such as BCC show higher levels of CRH expression than SCCs. In melanoma, CRH expression in metastases may be an important prognostic factor for overall

Corticotropin releasing hormone is present in the feline placenta and maternal serum [PDF]
BackgroundIn women, placental corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH) can be detected in maternal blood throughout pregnancy and is important in the regulation of the timing of parturition. However, its role in other mammalian species is unclear.

Endocrinology and the brain: corticotropin-releasing hormone signaling [PDF]
Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) is a key player of basal and stress-activated responses in the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis (HPA) and in extrahypothalamic circuits, where it functions as a neuromodulator to orchestrate humoral and behavioral

Brain corticotropin releasing hormone and stress reactivity
The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical axis is one of the main components of stress adaptation. Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) coming from the nucleus paraventricularis hypothalami (PVN) is the canonical central regulator of the axis.

Placental hormone profiles as predictors of preterm birth in twin pregnancy: A prospective cohort study. [PDF]
The objective of the study was to analyse placental hormone profiles in twin pregnancies to determine if they could be used to predict preterm birth.Progesterone, estradiol, estriol and corticotropin-releasing hormone were measured using competitive ...

Corticotropin releasing hormone and the skin [PDF]
Cotricotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) and related peptides are produced in skin that is dependent on species and anatomical location. Local peptide production is regulated by ultraviolet radiation (UVR), glucocorticoids and phase of the hair cycle. The skin also expresses the corresponding receptors (CRH-R1 and CRH-R2), with CRH-R1 being the major ...
