Luteinizing Hormone LH

Luteinizing hormone (LH), a gonadotropin, stimulates the gonads - in males, the testes, and in females, the ovaries. It is essential for reproduction, and secreted from cells in the anterior pituita...

UM Growth Hormone Study Could Lead to New Drug Therapies for Alzheimer’s Disease

UM Miller School and Miami VA Medical Center researchers have developed a synthetic antagonist of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) that holds promise for a new drug therapy to reverse or stop t...

Dendritic cell nuclear protein-1, a novel depression-related protein, upregulates corticotropin-releasing hormone expression.

The recently discovered dendritic cell nuclear protein-1 is the product of a novel candidate gene for major depression. The A allele encodes full-length dendritic cell nuclear protein-1, while the T a...

Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) is expressed in the human cervical carcinoma cells (HeLa) and upregulates the expression of Fas ligand.

Corticotropin-releasing hormone acts as a stressor mediator in the human reproductive system. Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) has been detected in several carcinomas of gynecological origin like...

Effects of corticotropin-releasing hormone and its antagonist on the gene expression of gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and GnRH receptor in the hypothalamus and anterior pituitary gland of follicular phase ewes.

There is no information in the literature regarding the effect of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) on genes encoding gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and the GnRH receptor (GnRHR) in the hy...

The role of CRH in behavioral responses to acute restraint stress in zebrafish.

In teleosts, changes in swimming, exploring, general locomotor activity, and anxious state can be a response to stress mediated by the corticotropin-releasing hormone system activation and its effects...

Chronic amphetamine treatment enhances corticotropin-releasing factor-induced serotonin release in the amygdala.

Amphetamine use is associated with dysphoric states, including heightened anxiety, that emerge within 24h of withdrawal from the drug. Corticotropin-releasing factor increases serotonin release in the...
