CRH corticotropin-releasing

CRH (Corticotropin releasing hormone) is expressed in the nucleus paraventricularis of the hypothalamus and drives the stress hormone system by activating synthesis and release of corticotropin at the pituitary and in turn corticosteroid from the adrenal cortex. CRH is also expressed at many other brain locations not involved in neuroendocrine regulation, e.g. the prefrontal cortex and the amygdala. Preclinical studies have shown that CRH also coordinates the behavioral adaptation to stress (e.g. anxiety, loss of appetite, decreased sleepiness, autonomic changes, loss of libido). [Pg.397]

CRH Corticotropin-releasing hormone a polypeptide hormone consisting of 41 amino acids that is released from the hypothalamns and travels to the adrenal cortex in a closed portal system. It binds to receptors in the adrenal cortex cansing the release of ACTH and P-lipotropin. [Pg.437]
