The influence of glucocorticoids on neuronal survival and synaptic function
Biomolecular Concepts, 2012 Glucocorticoids, recognized as stress-related steroid hormones secreted from adrenal glands, have multiple roles in brain function. The concentration of glucocorticoids is regulated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, and chronically elevated ...

Obstetric Medicine, 2019 The physiological changes that occur during pregnancy include altered regulation of the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis. The fetoplacental unit plays a major role in this, together with alteration of circulating cortisol-binding globulin levels, with a net effect to increase both total and free cortisol levels.

Single-Cell Resolution and Quantitation of Targeted Glucocorticoid Delivery in the Thymus
Cell Reports, 2019 Summary: Glucocorticoids are lipid-soluble hormones that signal via the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), a ligand-dependent transcription factor. Circulating glucocorticoids derive from the adrenals, but it is now apparent that paracrine glucocorticoid ...

Glucocorticoids and resilience [PDF]
Hormones and Behavior, 2019 All organisms endure frequent challenges to homeostasis, or stressors, that require adaptation. Depending on the individual, the context, and the magnitude of stress, this active adaptation can lead to behavioral susceptibility or resilience. The latter is an under-appreciated consequence of stress, as the damaging effects of chronic stress and ...

Glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis – a disorder of mesenchymal stromal cells?
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2011 Glucocorticoids are a class of steroid hormones that are essential to life but cause serious harm in excess. The main clinical features of glucocorticoid excess are due to adverse effects on cells and tissues that arise from a common developmental ...
