The human stress response has evolved to maintain homeostasis under conditions of real or
perceived stress. This objective is achieved through autoregulatory neural and hormonal …

The hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis is the major neuroendocrine axis regulating
homeostasis in mammals. Glucocorticoid hormones are rapidly synthesized and secreted …

Glucocorticoids (GCs) are steroids secreted by the adrenal cortex under the hypothalamic-
pituitary-adrenal axis control, one of the major neuro-endocrine systems of the organism …

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and cortisol are the most abundant hormones of the
human fetal and adult adrenals released as end products of a tightly coordinated endocrine …

Sustained weight loss is a preferred intervention in a wide range of metabolic conditions, but
the effects on an individual's health state remain ill‐defined. Here, we investigate the plasma …

We present a generalizable approach for designing biosensors that can continuously detect
small-molecule biomarkers in real time and without sample preparation. This is achieved by …

The steroid cortisol is an extensively studied and important variable in developmental and
other behavioral studies. Cortisol has been assayed by various methods using a range of …

The hypothalamic‐pituitary‐adrenal (HPA) axis regulates circulating levels of glucocorticoid
hormones, and is the major neuroendocrine system in mammals that provides a rapid …

Studies on glucocorticoid receptor (GR) action typically assess gene responses by long-term
stimulation with synthetic hormones. As corticosteroids are released from adrenal glands in …

The glucocorticoid receptor is a member of the nuclear receptor family that controls many
distinct gene networks, governing various aspects of development, metabolism …
