Abstract

Since CRF discovery, there has been an impressive accumulation of data regarding the role of the CRF system in the regulation of the stress response. The link between stress and induction of a mood episode in the context of unipolar or bipolar disorder has been clearly demonstrated in several studies and is confirmed by clinical practice, particularly in bipolar disorder. Antidepressant-like effects of CRFR1 antagonists in different animal models of depression have generated a strong interest in the clinical development of CRFR1 antagonist for the treatment of major depressive disorder. These efforts have so far not been rewarded by clinical efficacy. However, this therapeutic approach is still being explored. Finally, the accumulated genetic findings, mostly those related to variants within CRFR1, point to a role of the CRF system in the pathophysiology of depression and anxiety.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • HPA alterations are more common and more pronounced in severely depressed patients with melancholic and/or psychotic features and in elderly depressed patients.

    “they are more common and more pronounced in severely depressed patients with melancholic and/or psychotic features 68 and in elderly depressed patients 69”

    From Major depressive disorder (2016) · cites this paper as [68]

  • CRF plays key role in orchestrating endocrine, behavioral, and GI responses to stress.

    “CRF is a 41 amino-acid residue peptide that plays a key role in orchestrating the endocrine, behavioral, and GI responses to stress (for review, see [327][328][329]).”
  • When acute stress reactions become more frequent, it can lead to development of stress-related disorders, including anxiety and depression.

    “However, when acute stress reactions become more frequent, it can lead to the development of stress-related disorders, including anxiety and depression (for review, see [329,339]).”
  • Antidepressant treatment normalizes expression of CRF and CRF1 receptors in association with remission of depression.

    “Interestingly, antidepressant treatment normalizes expression of CRF and CRF 1 receptors in association with remission of depression [329,344,346].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
