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 ...

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.

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 ...

Antiapoptotic effects of velvet antler polypeptides on damaged neurons through the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis [PDF]
We investigated the effects of velvet antler polypeptide on cognitive impairment and the underlying mechanisms. Hydrogen peroxide-induced cell injury was used to establish an in vitro model of SH-SY5Y cells.
