Abstract excerpt
The dysregulation of the activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical (HPA) axis system is one of the major neuroendocrine abnormalities in major depression (MD). Many pieces of evidence supported that corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) play a role in the pathophysiology of major depression. In this article, whether genetic variations in the corticotropin-releasing hormone receptor1 (CRHR1) gene might...
