Journal ArticleDOI
Distribution of glucocorticoid receptor immunoreactivity and mRNA in the rat brain: an immunohistochemical and in situ hybridization study
TL;DR: The present study provides the groundwork for elucidating the role of GRs in brain function by examining the localization of glucocorticoid receptor immunoreactivity and mRNA in the adult rat brain, and specific polyclonal antibodies against a part of the transcription modulation (TR) domain of rat GR were used in the immunohistochemistry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Roles of steroid hormones and their receptors in structural organization in the nervous system
TL;DR: This review looks again at and updates the tremendous advances made in recent decades on the study of the role of steroid (gonadal and adrenal) hormones and their receptors on developmental processes and plastic changes in the nervous system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Motoneuron-specific expression of NR3B, a novel NMDA-type glutamate receptor subunit that works in a dominant-negative manner.
TL;DR: The results indicate that NR3B is important as a regulatory subunit that controls NMDA receptor transmission in mot oneurons and may be involved in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases involving motoneurons as well.
Journal ArticleDOI
Local secretion of corticotropin-releasing hormone by enterochromaffin cells in human colon

TL;DR: Normal human colonic mucosal enterochromaffin cells produce CRH, which may play a role in the modulation of the intestinal immune system and/or other gastrointestinal functions basally during stressful conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamic Changes in Subcellular Localization of Mineralocorticoid Receptor in Living Cells: In Comparison with Glucocorticoid Receptor using Dual-Color Labeling with Green Fluorescent Protein Spectral Variants
TL;DR: The results suggest that CORT-induced nuclear translocation of MR and GR exhibits differential patterns depending on ligand concentrations or cell types.
