Function of Cannabinoid Receptors in the Neuroendocrine Regulation of Hormone Secretion
Neurobiology of Disease, 1998 Marijuana and its cannabinoid constituents have profound effects on anterior pituitary hormone secretion. Exposure to Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol inhibits gonadotropin, prolactin, growth hormone, and thyroid-stimulating hormone release and stimulates the ...

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2000 The release of adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) from the corticotrophs is controlled principally by vasopressin and corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH). Oxytocin may augment the release of ACTH under certain conditions, whereas atrial natriuretic peptide ...

Regulation of gonadotropins by corticotropin-releasing factor and urocortin
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2013 While stress activates the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, it suppresses the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. Corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) is a major regulatory peptide in the HPA axis during stress.

Corticotropin-releasing factor facilitates epileptiform activity in the entorhinal cortex: roles of CRF2 receptors and PKA pathway. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Whereas corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) has been considered as the most potent epileptogenic neuropeptide in the brain, its action site and underlying mechanisms in epilepsy have not been determined.

A novel role of peripheral corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) on dermal fibroblasts. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Corticotropin-releasing hormone, or factor, (CRH or CRF) exerts important biological effects in multiple peripheral tissues via paracrine/autocrine actions.

Mitragynine attenuates withdrawal syndrome in morphine-withdrawn zebrafish.
PLoS ONE, 2011 A major obstacle in treating drug addiction is the severity of opiate withdrawal syndrome, which can lead to unwanted relapse. Mitragynine is the major alkaloid compound found in leaves of Mitragyna speciosa, a plant widely used by opiate addicts to ...

Physiological Reports, 2021 Ghrelin and the corticotropin‐releasing factor (CRF) family are known regulators of cellular metabolism and energy balance. We previously demonstrated that myoblast glucose metabolism is regulated by ghrelin and that this effect is mediated by CRF ...

The Role of Corticotropin-Releasing Factor Receptors in Stress and Anxiety [PDF]
Integrative and Comparative Biology, 2002 Corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) is a critical integrator of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis in response to stress. CRF and its related molecule urocortin (UCN) bind CRF receptor 1 (CRFR1) and CRFR2 with distinct affinities. Mice deficient for CRFR1 or CRFR2 were generated in order to determine the physiological role of these ...
