Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis suppression after treatment with glucocorticoid therapy for childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia [PDF]
Background Glucocorticoids play a major role in the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). However, supraphysiological doses may cause suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis.

Unsupervised machine learning and clustering in patients with CHARGE syndrome revealed a tendency towards mild/atypical phenotypes due to very distal CHD7 variants. RNA studies detected bi‐allelic expression whatever the location of the variant, indicating absence of NMD.

Condition of neuro-hormonal systems in traumatic brain injury and influence of Carbacetam
Use of GABA-ergic modulators in the traumatic brain injury (TBI) is actively investigated; their positive influence on brain circulation, inhibition of glutamate excitotoxicity, decrease of free radical damage, improvement of metabolism and power supply ...

Behavioral, neurological, and psychiatric frailty of autobiographical memory
The five long‐term memory systems and their assumed brain bases. Abstract Autobiographical‐episodic memory is considered to be the most complex of the five long‐term memory systems. It is autonoetic, which means, self‐reflective, relies on emotional colorization, and needs the features of place and time; it allows mental time traveling. Compared to the

Brain endothelial cells control fertility through ovarian-steroid-dependent release of semaphorin 3A. [PDF]
Neuropilin-1 (Nrp1) guides the development of the nervous and vascular systems, but its role in the mature brain remains to be explored. Here we report that the expression of the 65 kDa isoform of Sema3A, the ligand of Nrp1, by adult vascular endothelial

Mendelian Disorders in an Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome Cohort
Exome data for 109 individuals with interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome is analyzed for Mendelian disorders. Two genes identified within the cohort, ATP2C1 and ATP2A2, are associated with dermatological phenotypes. Further evaluation with larger numbers is needed, though genetically screening individuals with IC/BPS may be useful in diagnosing ...

Oxytocin at physiological concentrations evokes adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) release from corticotrophs by increasing intracellular free calcium mobilized mainly from intracellular stores. Oxytocin displays synergistic or additive effects on ACTH-releasing factor or arginine vasopressin-induced ACTH secretion, respectively [PDF]
The potency of oxytocin (OT) in evoking ACTH secretion by isolated, superfused rat adenohypophyseal corticotrophs and its enhancement by CRF and arginine vasopressin (AVP) were analyzed.

Role of PACAP in female fertility and reproduction at gonadal level - recent advances
Pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) is a pleiotropic neuropeptide, first isolated from hypothalamic extracts, but later shown in peripheral organs, such as endocrine glands, gastrointestinal system, cardiovascular system and ...

Organic Cation Transporter 3: A Cellular Mechanism Underlying Rapid, Non-Genomic Glucocorticoid Regulation of Monoaminergic Neurotransmission, Physiology, and Behavior [PDF]
Corticosteroid hormones act at intracellular glucocorticoid receptors (GR) and mineralocorticoid receptors (MR) to alter gene expression, leading to diverse physiological and behavioral responses.
