Glucocorticoid receptor signaling in the brain and its involvement in cognitive function [PDF]
Neural Regeneration ResearchThe hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis regulates the secretion of glucocorticoids in response to environmental challenges. In the brain, a nuclear receptor transcription factor, the glucocorticoid receptor, is an important component of the hypothalamic ...

Glucocorticoid Receptor Maintains Vasopressin Responses in Kidney Collecting Duct Cells
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 Water permeability of the kidney collecting ducts is regulated in part by the amount of the molecular water channel protein aquaporin-2 (AQP2), whose expression, in turn, is regulated by the pituitary peptide hormone vasopressin.

Context-Dependent Role of Glucocorticoid Receptor Alpha and Beta in Breast Cancer Cell Behaviour
Cells, 2023 Background. The dual role of GCs has been observed in breast cancer; however, due to many concomitant factors, GR action in cancer biology is still ambiguous. In this study, we aimed to unravel the context-dependent action of GR in breast cancer. Methods.

Antidepressant-like mechanism of honokiol in a rodent model of corticosterone-induced depression [PDF]
Journal of Integrative Neuroscience, 2020 Depression is closely linked to hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis hyperactivity. Honokiol, a biphenolic lignan compound obtained from the traditional Chinese medicine Magnolia officinalis, can reduce the activity of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal ...

Placental glucocorticoid receptors are not affected by maternal depression or SSRI treatment
Upsala Journal of Medical Sciences, 2020 Background: Prenatal depression is common, with an estimate that up to one in five pregnant women suffers from depressive symptoms. Maternal depression is associated with poor pregnancy outcomes such as preterm birth and low birth-weight.
