Antiapoptotic effects of velvet antler polypeptides on damaged neurons through the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis [PDF]
Journal of Integrative Neuroscience, 2020 We investigated the effects of velvet antler polypeptide on cognitive impairment and the underlying mechanisms. Hydrogen peroxide-induced cell injury was used to establish an in vitro model of SH-SY5Y cells.

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]
, 1992 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.

Mirtazapine decreases stimulatory effects of reboxetine on cortisol, adrenocorticotropin and prolactin secretion in healthy male subjects [PDF]
, 2004 Reboxetine is a selective noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor, whereas mirtazapine acts as an antagonist at noradrenergic alpha(2), serotonin (5-HT2), 5-HT3 and histamine H-1 receptors.

Glucocorticoids rapidly inhibit oxytocin-stimulated adrenocorticotropin release from rat anterior pituitary cells, without modifying intracellular calcium transients [PDF]
, 1993 Glucocorticoid hormones suppress the secretion of ACTH evoked by secretagogues such as CRF and arginine vasopressin. In this study, we investigated the effects of glucocorticoids on ACTH release induced by oxytocin (OT) and on intracellular free calcium ...

Endocrine aberrations of human nonobstructive azoospermia
Asian Journal of Andrology, 2022 Nonobstructive azoospermia (NOA) refers to the failure of spermatogenesis, which affects approximately 1% of the male population and contributes to 10% of male infertility.

Gonadotropin and kisspeptin gene expression, but not GnRH, are impaired in cFOS deficient mice. [PDF]
, 2015 cFOS is a pleiotropic transcription factor, which binds to the AP1 site in the promoter of target genes. In the pituitary gonadotropes, cFOS mediates induction of FSHβ and GnRH receptor genes.

The role of hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA)-like axis in inflammatory pilosebaceous disorders [PDF]
, 2020 Skin is the largest peripheral endocrine organ and functions as a hormone target and endocrine gland. A cutaneous hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA)-like axis enables the skin to respond to stress and regulates its steroidogenic activity.
