From Ligands to Behavioral Outcomes: Understanding the Role of Mineralocorticoid Receptors in Brain Function
Stress. 2023 Apr 17:1-53. doi: 10.1080/10253890.2023.2204366. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTStress is a normal response to situational pressures or demands. Exposure to stress activates the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and leads to the release of corticosteroids, which act in the brain via two distinct receptors: mineralocorticoid receptors (MR) and glucocorticoid receptors (GR). Persistent HPA axis overactivation or dysregulation can disrupt an individual's homeostasis, thereby contributing to an increased risk for mental illness. On the other hand, successful coping with stressful events involves adaptive an...
