Training-dependent biphasic effects of corticosterone in memory formation for a passive avoidance task in chicks

This study investigates the functional role of corticosterone in memory formation for a passive avoidance task in the day-old chick. Whereas training chicks with a strong aversant results in an enduring memory, memory for a weak aversant which is only reta ...

Regional and temporal modulation of brain glycoprotein synthesis by corticosterone

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez

Corticosterone has a biphasic effect on memory formation, short-term effects being facilitating and long-term effects resulting in cognitive impairments. The effects of different patterns of temporal exposure to corticosterone-previously shown to biphasica ...

Transcriptional induction of rat liver apolipoprotein A-I gene expression by glucocorticoids requires the glucocorticoid receptor and a labile cell-specific protein

Johan Auwerx

Treatment with glucocorticoids increases the concentration of plasma high-density lipoprotein (HDL), which is inversely correlated to the development of atherosclerosis. Previously, we demonstrated that repeated administration of glucocorticoids increases ...

Expression of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha gene is stimulated by stress and follows a diurnal rhythm

Johan Auwerx, Walter Wahli

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are nuclear hormone receptors that can be activated by fatty acids and peroxisome proliferators. The PPAR alpha subtype mediates the pleiotropic effects of these activators in liver and regulates several ...

Novelty-related rapid locomotor effects of corticosterone in rats

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez

Glucocorticoids modulate brain function and behaviour through different mechanisms. Although classical effects are mediated through intracellular receptors that modulate gene transcription, recent evidence supports the existence of rapid, nongenomic steroi ...
