Abstract The Klotho proteins, αKlotho and βKlotho, are essential components of endocrine
fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptor complexes, as they are required for the high-affinity …

Bruce McEwen's discovery of receptors for corticosterone in the rat hippocampus introduced
higher brain circuits in the neuroendocrinology of stress. Subsequently, these receptors …

Glucocorticoids (GCs) represent the most important and frequently used class of anti-
inflammatory drugs. While the therapeutic effects of GCs have been known and used for …

Daily dietary potassium (K+) intake may be as large as the extracellular K+ pool. To avoid
acute hyperkalemia, rapid removal of K+ from the extracellular space is essential. This is …

Abstract Fibroblast growth factor‐23 (FGF 23) is a bone‐derived hormone regulating renal
phosphate reabsorption and vitamin D synthesis in renal proximal tubules. Here, we show …

The recently discovered epithelial sodium channel (ENaC)/degenerin (DEG) gene family
encodes sodium channels involved in various cell functions in metazoans. Subfamilies …

Serum-and glucocorticoid-inducible kinases (SGKs) form a novel family of serine/threonine
kinases that are activated in response to a variety of extracellular stimuli. SGKs are related to …

Recent years have seen significant advances in our understanding of the development and
function of the adrenal gland together with further insights into the physiologic and …

We suggested a new model of the effects of glucocorticoids (GCs) exerted during chronic
stress, in which GCs directly stimulate activities in the brain while indirectly inhibiting activity …

The colonic epithelium has both absorptive and secretory functions. The transport is
characterized by a net absorption of NaCl, short-chain fatty acids (SCFA), and water …
