The temporal pattern of exposure to glucocorticoids has been reported to be a critical factor in determining the outcome of glucocorticoid actions at the brain. In this work, the effects of different regimes of subcutaneous corticosterone administration (a ...
There is a need to better understand the relationship, if any, between mRNA expression data obtained using microarray anal. and protein expression data obtained using electrophoretic methods. While data on mRNA and protein expression profiles are important ...
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 ...
Adrenal steroid hormones modulate learning and memory processes by interacting with specific glucocorticoid receptors at different brain areas. In this article, certain components of the physiological response to stress elicited by learning situations are ...
Contextual fear conditioning under training conditions involving high stressor intensities has been proposed as an animal model for traumatic memories. The strength of memory for this task has been related to the intensity of the conditioning stressor and ...
Existing evidence indicates that 21-days exposure of rats to restraint stress induces dendritic atrophy in pyramidal cells of the hippocampus. This phenomenon has been related to altered performance in hippocampal-dependent learning tasks. Prior studies ha ...
Cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) of the immunoglobulin superfamily, NCAM and L1, as well as the post-translational addition of alpha-2, 8-linked polysialic acid (PSA) homopolymers to NCAM (PSA-NCAM), have been implicated in the neural mechanisms underlying m ...
We studied the possible involvement of corticosteroids in the establishment and long-term expression of contextual fear conditioning and questioned whether a corticosteroid action might be dependent upon stimulus intensity at training. Experiments included ...
Leptin is a hormone which is produced in adipose tissue and which plays a role in the regulation of energy homeostasis. The expression of the ob gene, encoding leptin, is under multi-hormonal control. We have shown previously that high doses of glucocortic ...
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 ...
