Journal ArticleDOI

Temporal cascade of plasma level surges in ACTH, corticosterone, and cytokines in endotoxin-challenged rats

TL;DR: The present study was designed to investigate the coupling mechanisms linking the immune and the neuroendocrine corticotropic systems in an integrated defense response triggered by an infectious aggression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neurodevelopmental damage after prenatal infection: role of oxidative stress in the fetal brain.

TL;DR: It is shown that LPS injection during pregnancy in rats, 2 days before delivery, triggered an oxidative stress in the hippocampus of male fetuses, evidenced by a rapid rise in protein carbonylation and by decreases in alpha-tocopherol levels and in the ratio of reduced/oxidized forms of glutathione (GSH/GSSG).
Journal ArticleDOI

Late N-acetylcysteine treatment prevents the deficits induced in the offspring of dams exposed to an immune stress during gestation.

TL;DR: The results point to fetal hippocampal GSH as a major target of the detrimental effects of the in utero LPS challenge, suggesting that this drug might be clinically useful even after an immuno‐inflammatory episode.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intrahypothalamic infusion of interleukin-1 beta increases the release of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH 41) and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) in free-moving rats bearing a push-pull cannula in the median eminence.

TL;DR: In two simultaneous studies on unanesthetized rats implanted with either an intracerebral cannula adjacent to the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus and an intracarotid cannula, the effect of interleukin-1 beta infused on the release of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) 41 and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) was explored.
Journal ArticleDOI

Physiology of neural pathways affecting CRH secretion.

TL;DR: Present knowledge of the neural components controlling C R H secretion is evaluated, and most of the recent data in this line of research are still based on measurements of the peripheral hormones of the HPA axis-i.e. of ACTH and sometimes only of corticosterone.
