Impact of HSD11B1 polymorphisms on BMI and components of the metabolic syndrome in patients receiving psychotropic treatments
Pierre Magistretti, Murielle Bochud, Aurélie Delacrétaz
Background Metabolic syndrome (MetS) associated with psychiatric disorders and psychotropic treatments represents a major health issue. 11 beta-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11 beta-HSD1) is an enzyme that catalyzes tissue regeneration of active cor ...
Lippincott Williams & Wilkins2015A role for brain glucocorticoid receptors in contextual fear conditioning: dependence upon training intensity
Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Maria Isabel Cordero Campana
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 ...
1998Piracetam facilitates long-term memory for a passive avoidance task in chicks through a mechanism that requires a brain corticosteroid action
We investigated the effects of piracetam, a nootropic, on learning and memory formation for a passive avoidance task in day-old chicks. To test for the possible cognitive-enhancing properties of piracetam, a weak learning version of this task--whereby chic ...
1998Nitric oxide synthesis inhibitors prevent rapid behavioral effects of corticosterone in rats
Corticosteroid actions at the brain can modulate neural function and behavioral processes. Classic corticosteroid effects are mediated through intracellular receptors which act primarily by regulation of DNA transcription. However, an alternative nongenomi ...
1996Corticosterone facilitates long-term memory formation via enhanced glycoprotein synthesis
Long-term memory formation for a passive avoidance task in one-day-old chicks requires a late phase of synaptic glycoprotein synthesis (including the neural cell adhesion molecule), commencing 5.5 h post-training. This phase occurred in chicks trained with ...
1995Corticosteroid receptor antagonists are amnestic for passive avoidance learning in day-old chicks
Glucocorticoids can modulate behavioural processes and neural plasticity. They are released during learning situations and can trigger neural actions through binding to brain receptors. We hypothesized that a glucocorticoid action could play a critical rol ...
