IntroductionAbnormal cortisol suppression in borderline personality disorder has been consistently reported in previous studies, suggesting that a hypersensitivity response of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis might occur in these patients ...

Glucocorticoid Receptor Signaling in Diabetes [PDF]
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.

Glucocorticoid (GR) and mineralocorticoid receptors (MR) are believed to classically bind DNA as homodimers or MR-GR heterodimers to influence gene regulation in response to pulsatile basal or stress-evoked glucocorticoid secretion. Pulsed corticosterone

Distinct regulation of hippocampal neuroplasticity and ciliary genes by corticosteroid receptors
Glucocorticoid hormones (GCs) are of critical importance for maintaining brain health, but their involvement in mental disorders is poorly understood. Here the authors show how GCs act through hippocampal mineralocorticoid and glucocorticoid receptors to

Kisspeptin plays a vital role in mediating the stress-induced reproductive regulation. Cortisol, known as a stress-related hormone, is involved in gonadal development and sexual differentiation by binding with glucocorticoid receptor (GR) to regulate the

Fibroblast growth factor 2 is necessary for the antidepressant effects of fluoxetine. [PDF]
Previous research has shown that fibroblast growth factor 2 protein (FGF2) can act as an anxiolytic and anti-depressive agent in rodents. Levels of hippocampal FGF2 and FGF2 receptors are decreased in post-mortem brains of individuals with mood disorders.

A major risk factor for major depressive disorder (MDD) is stress. Stress leads to the release of high-mobility group box-1 (HMGB1), which in turn leads to neuroinflammation, a potential pathophysiological basis of MDD.

The glucocorticoid receptor resource [PDF]
The glucocorticoid receptor resource focuses on the structure-function relationships of the glucocorticoid receptor. As well as links to sequence and bibliographic databases via the World Wide Web, the database contains sequence comparisons of receptors from different species and source information for glucocorticoid receptor clones, probes, cell lines

Tissue-Specific Actions of Glucocorticoids on Apoptosis: A Double-Edged Sword
First described for their metabolic and immunosuppressive effects, glucocorticoids are widely prescribed in clinical settings of inflammation. However, glucocorticoids are also potent inducers of apoptosis in many cell types and tissues. This review will
