Concepts associés (25)

Récepteur des glucocorticoïdes

Le récepteur des glucocorticoïdes (GR) est une protéine de la superfamille des récepteurs nucléaires, famille des récepteurs des stéroïdes, liant naturellement le cortisol, qui est la principale hormone glucocorticoïde dans l'organisme. Les exons codent une protéine chez l'homme de 778 acides aminés d'une masse moléculaire de 90 kDa. Le récepteur des glucocorticoïdes, comme tous les récepteurs des stéroïdes, est composé de six domaines fonctionnels : Les domaines A et B (ou domaines N-terminaux), qui ont un rôle dans l'initialisation et la régulation de la transcription des gènes cibles.

Axe gonadotrope

The hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis (HPG axis, also known as the hypothalamic–pituitary–ovarian/testicular axis) refers to the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and gonadal glands as if these individual endocrine glands were a single entity. Because these glands often act in concert, physiologists and endocrinologists find it convenient and descriptive to speak of them as a single system. The HPG axis plays a critical part in the development and regulation of a number of the body's systems, such as the reproductive and immune systems.

Behavioral addiction

Behavioral addiction is a form of addiction that involves a compulsion to engage in a rewarding non-substance-related behavior – sometimes called a natural reward – despite any negative consequences to the person's physical, mental, social or financial well-being. Addiction canonically refers to substance abuse; however, the term's connotation has been expanded to include behaviors that may lead to a reward (such as gambling, eating, or shopping) since the 1990s.

Insulin signal transduction pathway

The insulin transduction pathway is a biochemical pathway by which insulin increases the uptake of glucose into fat and muscle cells and reduces the synthesis of glucose in the liver and hence is involved in maintaining glucose homeostasis. This pathway is also influenced by fed versus fasting states, stress levels, and a variety of other hormones. When carbohydrates are consumed, digested, and absorbed the pancreas senses the subsequent rise in blood glucose concentration and releases insulin to promote uptake of glucose from the bloodstream.
