Paternal Sperm Gnas‐ICR Epigenetic Programming Contributes to PPP‐Like Phenotypes in Female Offspring

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A paternal glucocorticoid–sperm Gnas‐ICR axis is linked to ovarian endocrine programming in female offspring. Paternal preconception caffeine exposure elevates corticosterone, promotes sperm Gnas‐ICR hypermethylation, and is associated with ovarian Gnas upregulation, cAMP/PKA/CREB–StAR activation, enhanced estradiol synthesis, and PPP‐like phenotypes ...

The Hypothalamic‐Pituitary‐Adrenal Axis and the Female Reproductive System

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1997
The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and the female reproductive system are intertwined and exhibit a complex relationship. Thus, the HPA axis exerts profound, mostly inhibitory effects, on the reproductive axis, with corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) and CRH-induced propiomelanocortin peptides inhibiting hypothalamic GnRH secretion, and ...

Hypothalamic Control of Liver Health and Disease: From Circuits to Pathophysiology and Therapies

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This review delineates the hypothalamic circuits that control liver homeostasis via autonomic and neuroendocrine pathways. Dysregulation of this hypothalamus–liver axis drives disease progression across a spectrum including steatotic liver disease, liver inflammation and injury, fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma.

Features of Remodeling of the Adrenal Glands Under the Influence of Endo- and Exopathogenic Factors

Archive of Clinical Medicine
One of the main links of the body's adaptation system, sensitive to the action of various types of exo- and endogenous factors, is the adrenal glands. The body's response to acute stress is mediated by the effects of the sympatho-adrenal system, while ...

Systemic Corticosteroids in the Management of Sinonasal Disease: An Evidence‐Based Expert Review

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a prevalent, heterogeneous inflammatory disease associated with significant morbidity. Systemic corticosteroids (SCS) are commonly prescribed for their anti‐inflammatory effects, but cumulative exposure carries risks, including metabolic, cardiovascular, and skeletal complications.
