The HPA Axis in Cocaine Use

Journal of Addictive Diseases, 2001
The role of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis in cocaine use is reviewed within the context of two approaches to developing pharmacological treatments in humans: (1) reducing the reinforcing effects of cocaine and (2) reducing cocaine addict's susceptibility to stress-induced relapse.

Prenatal stress and the programming of the HPA axis

Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews, 2010
There are several independent prospective studies showing that a wide variety of forms of prenatal stress can have long-term effects on the behavioural and cognitive outcome for the child. Animal studies have shown that prenatal stress, as well as affecting behaviour, can also reprogram the function of the HPA axis in the offspring.

HPA Axis‐Rhythms

open access: yesComprehensive Physiology, 2014
Abstract The hypothalamic‐pituitary‐adrenal (HPA) axis regulates circulating levels of glucocorticoid hormones, and is the major neuroendocrine system in mammals that provides a rapid response and defense against stress.

Drugs and HPA axis

Pituitary, 2008
This paper outlines the interferences of the most widely used drugs with hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal function and the related laboratory parameters, with the purpose of providing practical help to clinicians during testing for hypo- or hypercortisolemic states.

Regulation of the HPA Axis by Cytokines

Brain, Behavior, and Immunity, 1995
Cytokines are a group of polypeptide mediators, classically associated with the regulation of immunity and inflammation. However, these peptides regulate not only local immune/inflammatory responses, but also elicit many CNS-mediated responses which accompany such immune/inflammatory reactions. This article reviews the evidence that interleukin (IL)-1,

Sex Differences in the HPA Axis

Comprehensive Physiology, 2014
Abstract The hypothalamic‐pituitary‐adrenal (HPA) axis is a major component of the systems that respond to stress, by coordinating the neuroendocrine and autonomic responses. Tightly controlled regulation of HPA responses is critical for maintaining mental and physical health, as hyper‐ and hypo‐activity have been linked to disease ...

HPA axis and memory

Best Practice & Research Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2003
The hormones of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis influence memory in situations of acute and chronic stress. The present review tries to summarize the current state of knowledge by describing the enhancing as well as the impairing effects of stress or glucocorticoid (GC) treatment documented in animals and humans.

Effects of kisspeptin on parameters of the HPA axis

Endocrine, 2011
The hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) and hypothalamo-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axes have an intricate cross talk that results in the inhibition of reproductive functions during periods of chronic physiological or psychological stress. Recent studies have shown that kisspeptin neurons have projections to many non-reproductive areas of the brain ...

Cytokine Activation of the HPA Axis

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2000
Abstract:The observation that administration of interleukin‐1 (IL‐1) to animals activates the hypothalamo‐pituitary‐adrenocortical (HPA) axis stimulated great interest in the significance and mechanism of this response, and in whether other cytokines have similar activities.
