• Marque: Biosynth
• Description: A (Human, Rat) Corticotropin-Releasing Factor (CRF) product available as a 0.1mg vial. As a peptide hormone CRF regulates the hypothalamic-pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis. The hypothalamus releases CRF during stress and in turn CRF stimulates the production of stress hormones such as glucocorticoids and adrenocorticotropin (ACTH). Glucocorticoids are then involved in a negative feedback loop, in that they prevent the pituitary gland and hypothalamus from exhibiting any further endocrine activity. The overproduction of CRF due to the overstimulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary adrenal axis has been shown to cause symptoms seen in patients with depression. Furthermore studies have shown the expression of CRF receptors in glial cells and T-cells and elevated levels of CRF and glucocorticoids prevent T-cell proliferation. During stress cytokines can also stimulate the secretion of CRF. However CRF can also regulate these cytokines. CRF has the potential to be used in the research into depression treatments.
