Modulation of Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone Receptor Expression During In Vitro Keratinocyte Differentiation [PDF]
Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) and its receptors CRHR1 and CRHR2 are major actors in the stress response and are well established as components of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis.

The newly developed CRF1-receptor antagonists, NGD 98-2 and NGD 9002, suppress acute stress-induced stimulation of colonic motor function and visceral hypersensitivity in rats. [PDF]
Corticotropin releasing factor receptor 1 (CRF1) is the key receptor that mediates stress-related body responses. However to date there are no CRF1 antagonists that have shown clinical efficacy in stress-related diseases.

Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone: Biology and Therapeutic Opportunities
In 1981, Wylie Vale, Joachim Spiess, Catherine Rivier, and Jean Rivier reported on the characterization of a 41-amino-acid peptide from ovine hypothalamic extracts with high potency and intrinsic activity stimulating the secretion of adrenocorticotropic ...

Expression and functional characterization of membrane-integrated mammalian corticotropin releasing factor receptors 1 and 2 in Escherichia coli. [PDF]
Corticotropin-Releasing Factor Receptors (CRFRs) are class B1 G-protein-coupled receptors, which bind peptides of the corticotropin releasing factor family and are key mediators in the stress response.

Functional characterization of two corticotropin-releasing hormone receptors in Larimichthys crocea
In the neuroendocrine system, corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) plays an important role in the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal/interrenal (HPA/HPI) axis. It exerts its effects by activating CRHRs, which belong to the class B G protein-coupled receptor

Light exposure can profoundly affect neurological functions and behaviors. Here, we show that short-term exposure to moderate (400 lux) white light during Y-maze test promoted spatial memory retrieval and induced only mild anxiety in mice.

Stress is an essential part of everyday life. The neuropeptide corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH, also called CRF and corticoliberin) plays a key role in the integration of neuroendocrine, autonomic and behavioral responses to stress.

Mechanism of Anticonvulsant Action of ACTH
The hypothesis that systemic or intraventricular administration of corticotropin (ACTH) acts directly on limbic neurons to modulate corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) gene expression, independently of adrenal stimulation, was tested and confirmed in ...

CRF and urocortin peptides as modulators of energy balance and feeding behavior during stress. [PDF]
Early on, corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF), a hallmark brain peptide mediating many components of the stress response, was shown to affect food intake inducing a robust anorexigenic response when injected into the rodent brain.
