Phenotype triggers

  • CRF-R1
    in paraventricular_nucleus_of_hypothalamus
    • Systemic deficit in insulin and corticosterone results in opposite effects on the central expression of CRF and CRF-R1. Uncontrolled diabetes led to a decrease in CRF expression in parvocellular PVN. Insulin and corticosterone deficiency have the opposite effects on the hypophysiotropic CRF and CRF-R1. Alterations in the brain CRF system due to insulin deficiency may contribute to the hyperphagia in diabetes. [1]
