Glucocorticoids and Stress: Permissive and Suppressive Actions
Protection against stress by glucocorticoids is discussed in relation to their permissive and suppressive actions. Evidence from the last decade is summarized regarding the phys...
Physiological Functions of Glucocorticoids in Stress and Their Relation to Pharmacological Actions*
Almost any kind of threat to homeostasis or stress will cause plasma glucocorticoid levels to rise. The increased levels have traditionally been ascribed the physiological funct...
Decreased Hypothalamic-Pituitary Adrenal Axis Sensitivity to Cortisol Feedback Inhibition in Human Aging
Aging-related reduction in the sensitivity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis to glucocorticoid feedback inhibition has been demonstrated in rodents, but aging eff...
Glucocorticoids modulate vascular reactivity in the rat.
To clarify the role of endogenous glucocorticoids in the regulation of blood pressure, the cardiovascular effects of RU 486, a steroid derivative with antiglucocorticoid propert...
How Do Glucocorticoids Influence Stress Responses? Integrating Permissive, Suppressive, Stimulatory, and Preparative Actions*
The secretion of glucocorticoids (GCs) is a classic endocrine response to stress. Despite that, it remains controversial as to what purpose GCs serve at such times. One view, st...
