Blunt response to a stress test and higher prevalence of risk polymorphism of glucocorticoid receptor gene (NC3C1) in obese patients

de Gortari Patricia , Valdes Mariana , Camarena Beatriz , Hernandez-Munoz Sandra , Falcon Elena

Chronically exposure to stress promotes in individuals high intake of foods with high content of carbohydrates and fat and may develop obesity. Stress-induced sustained elevation of glucocorticoid serum levels may be due to impaired functioning of the hypothalamic glucocorticoid receptor GR, altering the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis regulation. As a result, chronically stressed individuals are unable to respond with higher cortisol levels wh...
