Long-Term Alterations of Glucocorticoid Receptor Expression and CD4+ T Cells in Adolescent Rhesus Macaques Following Early-Life Adversity [PDF]
BiomoleculesChild maltreatment (MALT) is a devastating form of early-life adversity (ELA) and a primary risk for mental and physical illness. It is difficult to disentangle postnatal caregiving effects from heritable factors.

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.

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.
