The Hypothalamic‐Pituitary‐Adrenal Axis in Obesity [PDF]

open access: yesObesity Research, 1995
AbstractThe hypothalamic‐pituitary‐adrenal (HPA) axis normally maintains the concentration of Cortisol within a narrow range with a diurnal variation characterized by higher Cortisol concentrations in the morning and reduced levels in the evening. Excessive or deficient secretion of Cortisol is associated with pathologic changes.

Machine learning‐based prediction of elevated N terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide among US general population

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 859-868, April 2025.
Abstract Aims Natriuretic peptide‐based pre‐heart failure screening has been proposed in recent guidelines. However, an effective strategy to identify screening targets from the general population, more than half of which are at risk for heart failure or pre‐heart failure, has not been well established.

Arginine vasopressin in the medial amygdala causes greater post-stress recruitment of hypothalamic vasopressin neurons

open access: yesMolecular Brain, 2021
Arginine vasopressin (AVP) is expressed in both hypothalamic and extra-hypothalamic neurons. The expression and role of AVP exhibit remarkable divergence between these two neuronal populations.

Development of catecholamine and cortisol stress responses in zebrafish. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Both adrenal catecholamines and steroids are known to be involved in the stress response, immune function, blood pressure and energy homeostasis. The response to stress is characterized by the activation of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis ...

Political Social Identity Threat Predicts Increases in Affective Polarisation Over Time, but Not Changes in Well‐Being

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Social Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Affective polarisation, a growing hostility toward political outgroups, is a phenomenon rooted in social identity. Social identity threat—the expectation of experiencing some form of denigration based on a self‐relevant group identity—is thought to be a major driver of affective polarisation.

Night-time shift work and related stress responses: A study on security guards [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Work-related stress can induce a break in homeostasis by placing demands on the body that are met by the activation of two different systems, the hypothalamic\u2013pituitary\u2013adrenal axis and the sympathetic nervous system.
