The Locus Coeruleus: Anatomy, Physiology, and Stress‐Related Neuropsychiatric Disorders
Repeated and chronic exposure to stressors may activate the locus coeruleus–norepinephrine (LC‐NE) system. Depression and post‐traumatic stress disorders precipitated by a stressful event are associated with the hypersecretion of the corticotropin‐releasing factor (CRF) leading to elevated CRF levels in the brain (green arrows pointed up).

Cortisol Secreting Adrenal Adenoma in a 5 Year Old Child [PDF]
Adrenal adenoma is a rare endocrinal tumor in children. It can present with features of Cushing's syndrome. We present a case report of five years old female child who came with morbid obesity and hypertension.

Effect of the glucocorticoid receptor antagonist Org 34850 on fast and delayed feedback of corticosterone release [PDF]
We investigated the effect of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) antagonist Org 34850 on fast and delayed inhibition of corticosterone secretion in response to the synthetic glucocorticoid methylprednisolone (MPL).

EGFR and JAK2 were significant master gene biomarkers in invasive and noninvasive pituitary adenoma
(A) Visualization of the interactions between upregulated and downregulated genes in invasive and non‐invasive pituitary adenomas, highlighting the central role of EGFR and JAK2 as master gene biomarkers. (B) Expression density plots show the distribution of gene expression values after normalization, and volcano plots illustrate significant DEGs ...

Effects of environmental enrichment on behavioral responses to novelty, learning, and memory, and the circadian rhythm in cortisol in growing pigs [PDF]
Previously we showed that pigs reared in an enriched environment had higher baseline salivary cortisol concentrations during the light period than pigs reared under barren conditions.

The thera(g)nostic approach with somatostatin analog‐based agents extends beyond gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. Understanding tumor biological mechanisms is essential for optimizing treatment strategies. Abstract First isolated by Brazeau et al. in 1972, somatostatin (SST) is a neuropeptide known for regulating various signaling pathways

Grading and staging for pituitary neuroendocrine tumors
Abstract Pituitary adenoma/pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNETs) are the second most common primary intracranial tumor and the most frequent neuroendocrine tumors/neoplasms of the human body. Thus, they are one of the most frequent diagnoses in neuropathologist's practise.

Pituitary adenomas, some diagnostic and therapeutical aspects [PDF]
The treatment of almost all types of pituitary adenomas has changed considerably in recent years. New types of drugs as well as improved application forms of older drug therapies are now becoming more and more available for everyday treatment of patients

Role of somatostatin receptors in normal and tumoral pituitary corticotropic cells [PDF]
Normal and tumoral pituitary corticotropic cells express sst2and sst5, of which sst5is the predominantly expressed receptor subtype. Somatostatin (SS) inhibits pituitary adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH) secretion in vitro, but the sensitivity to SS is ...

Expression of p53 protein in pituitary adenomas
Inactivating mutations of TP53, a tumor suppressor gene, are associated with abnormal cell proliferation. Although p53 expression is common in many human malignancies, p53 protein has seldom been evaluated in pituitary tumors.
