WE HAVE previously observed (Saffran and Serially, 1955a) that neurohypophysial tissue plus arterenol (norepinephrine) strongly stimulate the release of corticotropin (ACTH) from anterior pituitary tissue in vitro. A corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) has been found in posterior pituitary extracts ...
2.releasing factor- any of several hormones produced in the hypothalamus and carried by a vein to the anterior pituitary gland where they stimulate the release of anterior pituitary hormones; each of these hormones causes the anterior pituitary to secrete a specific hormone ...
The CRF receptor antagonist D-Phe-CRF(12-41) had no effect at any of the other time points, and it did not affect the anorectic effects of PACAP. PACAP continued to have an effect on food intake 24 h after administration ( À 42%, PACAP: (F(1,11) ¼ 99.36, Po0.001) as ...
In the culture condition of IL-2, IL-7 or IL-33, respectively, the treatment of a-MSH did not significantly inhibit the function of ILC2s to release cytokines (Fig. 5i). However, the inhibitory function of α-MSH was effective under the condition of IL-7 plus IL-33 but not IL-2 ...
Under stress, CRH stimulates the release of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) into the blood stream, which in turn stimulates the adrenal cortex to release cortisol and other steroid hormones (Rivier and Vale, 1983, Ulrich-Lai and Herman, 2009). These steroid hormones bind mineralocorticoid ...
We have conducted studies in intact adult male rats, designed to examine the effect of a 3- or 7-day exposure to alcohol (EtOH) on the pituitary's response to corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRF) or stress, and on CRF expression in the hypothalamus. In a first series of experiments, rat...
Alpha (α)-amidation of peptides is a mechanism required for the conversion of prohormones into functional peptide sequences that display biological activities, receptor recognition and signal transduction on target cells. Alpha (α)-amidation occurs in
Along with CRF, AVP stimulates the release of pituitary adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) via the AVP 1b (V1b) receptor. The release of ACTH stimulates production of cortisol via the adrenal cortex and is central to the HPA axis response to stress (Carrasco and Van de Kar, 2003; Herman ...
In the placenta, dexamethasone stimulates CRH gene expression through the CRE [34]. The CRH promoter does not contain a consensus glucocorticoid response element (GRE) [35]. Guardiola-Diaz et al. used purified glucocorticoid receptor binding domain and DNA from the CRH promoter (−332 to −...
