Interleukin-1 (IL-1) in stress-induced activation of limbic-hypothalamic-pituitary adrenal axis.
Journal Title: Pharmacological Reports - Year 2010, Vol 62, Issue 6
Abstract
Proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-1 (IL-1) produced during psychological and immunological stress, plays a significant role in the neuroendocrine and stress responses. Brain IL-1 is an important mediator in stress-induced stimulation of the limbic-hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and secretion of ACTH and corticosterone. This review aims to describe some signaling pathways between the limbic-hypothalamic-pituitary structures during prolonged stress responses including their sensitization and adaptation. Interleukin-1 represents an important central component operating in neurochemical and immune network for efficient coping in preventing stress-associated psycho- and neuropathology.

Effect of metformin on selected parameters of hemostasis in fenofibrate-treated patients with impaired glucose tolerance.
Background: No previous study has assessed whether the addition of metformin potentiates fibrate action on hemostasis in prediabetic subjects. Methods: Our study included 41 fenofibrate-treated patients with impaired glu...
Expression of multiple Transient Receptor Potential channel genes in murine 3T3-L1 cell lines and adipose tissue.
Background: Calcium and its signaling have a role in adipogenesis. Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) channels are non-selective cation channels with a high permeability to calcium. Methods: In the present study the expr...
Involvement of spinal PKA/CREB signaling pathway in the development of bone cancer pain.
Background: It has been shown that spinal PKA/CREB signaling pathway is involved in neuropathic and inflammatory pain, but its effects on bone cancer pain have not previously been investigated. The aim of this study was...
Effects of norepinephrine on the electrical activities of pain-related neurons in the rat nucleus accumbens.
This study examined the effects of norepinephrine (NE) and phentolamine on the electrical activities of pain-excited neurons (PENs) and pain-inhibited neurons (PINs) in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) of Wistar rats. Trains...
Frequencies and roles of CYP3A5, CYP3A4 and ABCB1 single nucleotide polymorphisms in Italian teenagers after kidney transplantation.
The main genes involved in the pharmacokinetics of immunosuppressive drugs are those encoding cytochrome P450 (CYP) family enzymes and multidrug resistance 1 (ABCB1). In this study, 87 Italian teenagers with transplanted...
