Book ChapterDOI

Leptin and the regulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis.

TL;DR: Leptin, the product of the obesity gene (ob) predominantly secreted from adipocytes, plays a major role in the negative control of feeding and acts via a specific receptor (Ob-R), six isoforms of which are known at present as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expression of the spexin gene in the rat adrenal gland and evidences suggesting that spexin inhibits adrenocortical cell proliferation

TL;DR: The results suggest the direct involvement of SPX in the regulation of adrenocortical cell proliferation; however, the mechanism of action remains unknown.
Journal ArticleDOI

Orexins modulate the growth of cultured rat adrenocortical cells, acting through type 1 and type 2 receptors coupled to the MAPK p42/p44- and p38-dependent cascades.

TL;DR: It is concluded that orexins modulate the growth of rat adrenocortical cells cultured in vitro, by exerting both proliferogenic and antiproliferogenic effects, which are mediated by OX1-Rs and OX2-Rs, respectively.
