The Glucocorticoid Receptor in Cardiovascular Health and Disease
Cells, 2019 The glucocorticoid receptor is a member of the nuclear receptor family that controls many distinct gene networks, governing various aspects of development, metabolism, inflammation, and the stress response, as well as other key biological processes in ...

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 ...

B2 SINE RNA as a novel regulator of glucocorticoid receptor transcriptional activity
Neurobiology of Stress, 2023 Glucocorticoids are a key component to the cellular response to stress. Glucocorticoids act via glucocorticoid receptors found ubiquitously in the brain and body.

Glucocorticoid Receptor Signaling in Diabetes [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 Stress and depression increase the risk of Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) development. Evidence demonstrates that the Glucocorticoid (GC) negative feedback is impaired (GC resistance) in T2D patients resulting in Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis hyperactivity and hypercortisolism.

Mitochondrial Glucocorticoid Receptors and Their Actions [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 Mitochondria are membrane organelles present in almost all eukaryotic cells. In addition to their well-known role in energy production, mitochondria regulate central cellular processes, including calcium homeostasis, Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) generation, cell death, thermogenesis, and biosynthesis of lipids, nucleic acids, and steroid hormones ...

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.
