Protective role of Panax ginseng extract standardized with ginsenoside Rg3 against acry... - 0 views

  •  
    RG3, an extract from panax ginseng, found to protect against the neurotoxin acrylamide.   Also of interest, is that serotonin, corticosterone, T3, T4, estradiol, progesterone and epinephrine were all decreased in this acrylamide rat model.

11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 an... [Front Horm Res. 2008] - PubMed - NCBI - 0 views

  • Adipose-selective 11beta -HSD1 transgenic mice exhibited elevated intra-adipose and portal, but not systemic corticosterone levels, abdominal obesity, hyperglycaemia, insulin resistance, dyslipidaemia and hypertension
  • transgenic overexpression of 11beta -HSD1 in liver yielded an attenuated metabolic syndrome with mild insulin resistance, dyslipidaemia, hypertension and fatty liver, but not obesity or glucose intolerance
  •  
    11-betaHSD1 expression and effect is site specific.

The Androgen 5α-Dihydrotestosterone and Its Metabolite 5α-Androstan-3β, 17β-D... - 0 views

  • Sex steroid hormones are primarily responsible for sex difference in adult HPA function; androgens inhibit whereas estrogens enhance HPA axis activation after a stressor
  • the PVN contains relatively high levels of AR (Bingaman et al., 1994; Zhou et al., 1994) and ERβ (Alves et al., 1998; Hrabovszky et al., 1998; Somponpun and Sladek, 2003) but is essentially devoid of ERα
  • the nonaromatizable androgen DHT and the nonselective ER ligand E2 influence HPA reactivity by acting on neurons within or surrounding the PVN

  • inhibitory action of DHT is detectable at both the level of hormone secretion as well as PVN c-fos mRNA expression
  • the inhibition can be mimicked by the DHT metabolite 3β-diol and by the subtype selective ERβ agonist DPN
  • E2 acts to enhance HPA reactivity
  • the ability of the ER antagonist tamoxifen, but not the AR antagonist flutamide, to block the inhibitory actions of DHT, speaks to the intracellular mechanism by which this inhibitory signal might be transduced.

      that is because the interaction with the DHT metabolite is not with the AR, but with the ER-beta.
  • the DHT metabolite 3β-diol and the ERβ-subtype-selective agonist DPN suppressed ACTH, corticosterone, and c-fos mRNA responses to restraint stress in a manner similar to DHT
  • metabolism of DHT to 3β-diol and subsequent binding to ERβ can be inhibitory to HPA reactivity, and this is one possible mechanism for the action of DHT.
  • Our data also suggest that E2 enhances the reactivity of the HPA axis to stress by acting on or near neurons of the PVN
  • the actions of E2 appear to be through an ERα-dependent mechanism
  • these studies suggest that ERβ, within the male hypothalamus, acts to inhibit the HPA axis and that the inhibitory effects of DHT may be, at least in part, via its intracellular conversion to 3β-diol and subsequent binding to ERβ
  •  
    DHT metabolites: particularly 3beta-androstanediol inhibit HPA axis through ER-beta.

Homeostasis in Intestinal Epithelium Is Orchestrated by the Circadian Clock and Microbi... - 0 views

  • a lack of microbiota results in a permanent ileal overproduction of corticosterone due to decreased expression of the D-box-binding E4BP4 repressor. This hypercorticosterolism generates systemic metabolic defects (hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, increased TG and FA)
  •  
    to be read article on the communication between gut microbiota and intestinal epithelial cells and the resultant metabolic impact.
