Long‐Term Treatment with Antidepressants Increases Glucocorticoid Receptor Binding and Gene Expression in Cultured Rat Hippocampal Neurones
1 Nov 1999
Abstract excerpt
Since the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and/or mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) in the hippocampus have been implicated in cortisol feedback of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, abnormalities in those receptors might underlie the hyperactivity of the HPA axis described in patients with major depression. Animal studies have shown that long-term in-vivo treatment with antidepressants up-regulates...
