The role of toll-like receptors in the adrenal gland [PDF]

, 2010
Sepsis is caused by infection and often followed by an overwhelming inflammatory response. This can lead to shock, organ failure and even death. Each year approximately 60,000 people die in Germany due to sepsis.

A Mouse Model of Depression‐Tumor Multimorbidity Reveals the Mechanism of Tumor Growth Accelerated by Depression

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Depression accelerates tumor growth by dysregulation of tumor immune microenvironment. (A) Modeling methods: Subcutaneous tumor models were established under chronic unpredictable mild stress conditions, including cold swimming, physical restraint, and food/water deprivation, leading to increased tumor growth.

Secondary Adrenal Insufficiency Presenting With Severe Hyponatremia in an Elderly Patient With Primary Aldosteronism Suggesting Underlying Autonomous Cortisol Secretion

Clinical Case Reports
Possible unrecognized cortisol autonomy in primary aldosteronism may suppress the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis. Under physiological stress, this may contribute to secondary adrenal insufficiency and severe hyponatremia.

Pituitary Structural and Vascular Changes with Preserved Hypothalamic Microstructure in Postmenopausal Women with Primary Sjögren’s Syndrome: An MRI Study

Applied Sciences
(1) Background: This study aimed to evaluate hypothalamic–hypophyseal (HH) axis involvement in Primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) using MRI and assess its relationship with hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis dysfunction.

How developmental stressors affect mitochondrial respiratory function: a systematic review and meta‐analysis

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The environmental conditions organisms experience during early development can have powerful and sustained effects on morphology, physiology, behaviour, and performance. Such developmental effects can influence reproductive success, survival, and life‐history strategies and can be transmitted across generations (i.e.

Anticipatory Stress in Medical Students Before Their First Cadaver Experience: A Physiological Component of Cadaver‐Based Anatomy Education

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cadaver‐based anatomy education represents a unique biological and sensory experience that may elicit significant physiological responses. However, little is known about the anticipatory phase prior to initial exposure, particularly when evaluated using objective biomarkers.

Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis response in borderline personality disorder without post-traumatic features

, 2018
Hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis sensitivity was investigated in 32 non-medicated patients with borderline personality disorder without comorbid post-traumatic syndromes and in 18 normal individuals using a modified dexamethasone suppression ...
