Stress, rhythm, choice and the munchies - Tribute to Mary F. Dallman
Stress. 2023 Sep 28:1-7. doi: 10.1080/10253890.2023.2265162. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn December 2021, we lost a pioneer in the field of stress research who inspired generations of scientists. Mary Dallman was an expert on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, its interactions with a wide variety of other physiological systems and the impact of chronic changes of HPA function on energy metabolism and adiposity. She was not only an excellent scientist, she was a great role model and mentor for young scientists, especially women. She encouraged and supported many of her trainees even long after they left the l...

CCK1R2R < sup > -/- < /sup > ameliorates myocardial damage caused by unpredictable stress via altering fatty acid metabolism
Stress. 2023 Nov;26(1):2254566. doi: 10.1080/10253890.2023.2254566.ABSTRACTThe heart is the main organ of the circulatory system and requires fatty acids to maintain its activity. Stress is a contributor to aggravating cardiovascular diseases and even death, and exacerbates the abnormal lipid metabolism. The cardiac metabolism may be disturbed by stress. Cholecystokinin (CCK), which is a classical peptide hormone, and its receptor (CCKR) are expressed in myocardial cells and affect cardiovascular function. Nevertheless, under stress, the exact role of CCKR on cardiac function and cardiac metabolism is unknown and the mecha...
