Abstract:

The hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, a neuroendocrine pathway involved in the stress response is well studied in both human beings and rodents. Major gender-related neuroendocrine changes take place during pubcl1y (days 30 - 60 in rats) including a robust increase in the levels of gonadal steroids which are thought to underlie numerous neural and behavioural changes brought on after puberty. Evidence suggests the HPA axis undergoes significant changes over the pubertal period. This project investigated the effects of gonadal steroids on the HPA axis before and after puberty and the ro

Abstract:

There has been a global rise in obesity in the last three decades, and at present one in five women are obese at antenatal booking. Maternal obesity is associated with an increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes, including increased fetal size and prolonged pregnancy. In the longer-term, offspring of obese are at increased risk of premature death from a cardiovascular event in their adulthood. One mechanism that has been linked to these outcomes is fetal exposure to glucocorticoids in utero. During normal pregnancy, the maternal hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis undergoes major cha

Abstract:

Dysfunction of the limbic-hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (LHPA) axis is a common finding in advanced dementia. In this study, the function of the LHPA axis at different levels was investigated in patients with dementia and in healthy elderly. A subtle disturbance in the feedback regulation of the LHPA axis was found in patients with early (i.e., mild to moderate) Alzheimer’s disease (AD). After 0.5 mg dexamethasone, serum cortisol levels were less suppressed in AD patients and plasma adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) levels were lower as compared with healthy elderly.

Abstract:

Histamine appears to act as a neurotransmitter within the CNS and may be involved in the regulation of a number of physiological systems including the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis. We conducted a series of experiments in rats to examine the role of histamine within the HPA axis. We first determined if histamine undergoes diurnal variations in the paraventricular nucleus, the periventricular nucleus, and the ventro-medial nucleus of the hypothalamus, the frontal cortex, septal nucleus, median eminence, posterior hypothalamus, mammillary bodies, supraoptic nucleus, suprachiasmatic n

Thesis (PhD)-- Stellenbosch University, 2013.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Although the effect of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) on the hypothalamic- pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) has been regarded as a “benign physiological response”, a survey published in 2002 suggested that adrenal crisis is more common in asthmatic children on ICS than previously thought. Relying on clinical features to detect chronic adrenal insufficiency secondary to corticosteroids may not be wise, as these are non-specific and can therefore easily be missed.

The aim of this thesis was to study the HPA axis in detail, examining aspects of both activity of the axis and cortisol action, in order to determine variations that could explain the link between low birthweight and subsequent development of cardiovascular risk factors. The principal findings were that men aged 66-77 years, who were of low birthweight and/or with the Metabolic Syndrome, have activation of the HPA axis with increased cortisol response to ACTH<sub>1-24</sub> and increased urinary cortisol metabolite excretion.

Abstract:

It is thought that the involvement of common mediators such as corticotrophin releasing hormone (CRR), cytokines, prostaglandins (PG's), pituitary peptides and glucocorticoids allows the integration of immune and neuroendocrine activity during the acute phase response (APR) to injury and infection. Glucocorticoids are the major inhibitory component within this complex system, which has been termed the immunehypothalamic- pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. In the past, lipocortin-1 (LC-1) has been implicated as a "second messenger" of glucocorticoid actions. The present study explored this potential

Background: The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis has been implicated in the aetiopathology of depression, and the incidence of HPA dysfunction tends to increase with the severity of treatment resistance. In healthy volunteers (HV), both acute and chronic hypercortisolaemia causes cognitive impairment, including emotional memory. The exact mechanism of this remains unclear; however the action of cortisol on corticosteroid receptors in the hippocampus appears to be crucial and this may also be important in the aetiopathology of depression.
