A computational insight into endocrine disruption by polychlorinated biphenyls via non-covalent interactions with human nuclear receptors

open access: yesEcotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2021
Production of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) was banned a long time ago because of their harmful health effects but humans continue to be exposed to residual PCBs in the environment.

Glucocorticoid receptors and depression. [PDF]

open access: yesBMJ, 1986
The number of glucocorticoid receptor sites in lymphocytes was estimated and plasma cortisol concentrations measured in 17 depressed patients, 12 patients with chronic schizophrenia, and 31 healthy control subjects. The number of receptor sites was significantly lower in the depressed patients than in either the controls or the patients with chronic ...

Role of glucocorticoid negative feedback in the regulation of HPA axis pulsatility

open access: yesStress, 2018
The hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis is the major neuroendocrine axis regulating homeostasis in mammals. Glucocorticoid hormones are rapidly synthesized and secreted from the adrenal gland in response to stress.

The direct response of the gonads to cues of stress in a temperate songbird species is season-dependent. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) system in the hypothalamus is often considered the final point in integration of environmental cues as they pertain to the reproductive axis.

Glucocorticoid modulates angiotensin II receptor expression patterns and protects the heart from ischemia and reperfusion injury. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014

Septic serum induces glucocorticoid resistance and modifies the expression of glucocorticoid isoforms receptors: a prospective cohort study and in vitro experimental assay

open access: yesCritical Care, 2013
BackgroundA protective role for glucocorticoid therapy in animal models of sepsis was shown many decades ago. In human sepsis, there is new interest in glucocorticoid therapy at a physiological dose after reports of improved response to vasopressor drugs

Effect of combining glucocorticoids with Compound A on glucocorticoid receptor responsiveness in lymphoid malignancies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Glucocorticoids (GCs) are a cornerstone in the treatment of lymphoid malignancies such as multiple myeloma (MM) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).

Crystal structure of the mineralocorticoid receptor DNA binding domain in complex with DNA.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
The steroid hormone receptors regulate important physiological functions such as reproduction, metabolism, immunity, and electrolyte balance. Mutations within steroid receptors result in endocrine disorders and can often drive cancer formation and ...
