Accumulating research shows that prenatal exposure to maternal stress increases the risk
for behavioral and mental health problems later in life. This review systematically analyzes …

Glucocorticoids (GCs) are endogenous hormones that are crucial for the homeostasis of the
organism and adaptation to the external environment. Because of their anti-inflammatory …

Everything exists and evolves within time–space and time–space is within everything, from a
molecule to the universe. Understanding the complex relationship between time and space …

Glucocorticoids are primary stress hormones necessary for life that regulate numerous
physiologic processes in an effort to maintain homeostasis. Synthetic derivatives of these …

Glucocorticoids are steroid hormones regulated in a circadian and stress-associated
manner to maintain various metabolic and homeostatic functions that are necessary for life …

Steroidogenesis, the processes by which cholesterol is converted to steroid hormones,
involves transport proteins, enzymes, redox partners and cofactors. Most steroidogenic …

Since the discovery of glucocorticoids in the 1940s and the recognition of their anti-
inflammatory effects, they have been amongst the most widely used and effective treatments …

Although mitochondria are best known for being the eukaryotic cell powerhouses, these
organelles participate in various cellular functions besides ATP production, such as calcium …

The capacity to predict future events permits a creature to detect, model, and manipulate the
causal structure of its interactions with its environment. Behavioral experiments suggest that …

The secretion of glucocorticoids (GCs) is a classic endocrine response to stress. Despite
that, it remains controversial as to what purpose GCs serve at such times. One view …
