Urocortins in the mammalian endocrine system
Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2019 Urocortins (Ucns), peptides belonging to the corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) family, are classified into Ucn1, Ucn2, and Ucn3. They are involved in regulating several body functions by binding to two G protein-coupled receptors: receptor type 1 ...

Brain corticotropin releasing hormone and stress reactivity
Интегративная физиология, 2021 The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical axis is one of the main components of stress adaptation. Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) coming from the nucleus paraventricularis hypothalami (PVN) is the canonical central regulator of the axis.

Cell Reports, 2018 Summary: Stressful events rapidly trigger activity-dependent synaptic plasticity, driving the formation of aversive memories. However, it remains unclear how stressful experience affects plasticity mechanisms to regulate appetitive learning, such as ...

Distribution of Urocortins and Corticotropin-Releasing Factor Receptors in the Cardiovascular System
International Journal of Endocrinology, 2012 Urocortins are human homologues of urotensin I, a fish corticotropin-releasing-factor- (CRF-) like peptide secreted from the urophysis. There are three urocortins: urocortin 1, urocortin 2, and urocortin 3 in mammals.

The Local Neuropeptide System of Keratinocytes
Biomedicines, 2021 Neuropeptides have been known for over 50 years as chemical signals in the brain. However, it is now well established that the synthesis of this class of peptides is not restricted to neurons. For example, human skin not only expresses several functional

Interaction between the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal and thyroid axes during immobilization stress
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 The location of corticotropin-releasing hormone receptor 2 (CRH-R2) on thyrotropes within the avian anterior pituitary (APit) and its activation by different stressors indicate a possible communication between hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) and ...

Pharmacogenetics of antidepressants
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2011 Up to 60% of depressed patients do not respond completely to antidepressants (AD) and up to 30% do not respond at all. Genetic factors contribute for about 50% of the AD response. During the recent years the possible influence of a set of candidate genes
