The adrenal gland produces corticosteroids essential for hydromineral and metabolic homeostasis. It is organised, in mice, in two concentric layers. The zona glomerulosa (zG) and fasciculate (zF), renewed from progenitors located in the capsular periphery. Centripetal renewal and maintenance of cortical zonation are dependant of a balance between WNT/β-catenin and ACTH/PKA signalling pathways. They provide recruitment and consecutive differentiation of progenitors into zG...

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...
