A users guide to HPA axis research. [PDF]
Physiology & Behavior, 2017 Glucocorticoid hormones (cortisol and corticosterone - CORT) are the effector hormones of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis neuroendocrine system. CORT is a systemic intercellular signal whose level predictably varies with time of day and dynamically increases with environmental and psychological stressors.

The etiology of poststroke-depression: a hypothesis involving HPA axis.
Biomedicine and Pharmacotherapy, 2022 Approximately, one in three ischemic stroke survivors suffered from depression, namely, post-stroke depression (PSD). PSD affects functional rehabilitation and may lead to poor quality of life of patients.

Molecular Psychiatry, 2016 The hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis has been implicated in the pathophysiology of a variety of mood and cognitive disorders. Neuroendocrine studies have demonstrated HPA axis overactivity in major depression, a relationship of HPA axis activity

HPA axis function and diurnal cortisol in post-traumatic stress disorder: A systematic review
Neurobiology of Stress, 2019 Background: There is inconsistency in the literature regarding the nature of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis functionality in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Purpose: The review aimed to investigate HPA axis functionality via the diurnal

Association between Stress and the HPA Axis in the Atopic Dermatitis
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2017 The hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis is one of the body’s neuroendocrine networks that responds to psychological stress (PS). In the skin, there exists a peripheral HPA axis similar to the central axis.

Childhood Trauma, the HPA Axis and Psychiatric Illnesses: A Targeted Literature Synthesis
Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2022 Studies of early life stress (ELS) demonstrate the long-lasting effects of acute and chronic stress on developmental trajectories. Such experiences can become biologically consolidated, creating individual vulnerability to psychological and psychiatric ...

The different roles of glucocorticoids in the hippocampus and hypothalamus in chronic stress-induced HPA axis hyperactivity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) hyperactivity is observed in many patients suffering from depression and the mechanism underling the dysfunction of HPA axis is not well understood.

The Role of HPA Axis and Allopregnanolone on the Neurobiology of Major Depressive Disorders and PTSD
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 Under stressful conditions, the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis acts to promote transitory physiological adaptations that are often resolved after the stressful stimulus is no longer present. In addition to corticosteroids (e.g., cortisol), the
