Sex differences in circuits activated by corticotropin releasing factor in rats
2018, Hormones and BehaviorCitation Excerpt :Estradiol can regulate anxiety. In humans, estrogen replacement can reduce anxiety (Gleason et al., 2015; Misra et al., 2013, but see, Demetrio et al., 2011), and on the contrary, anxiety symptoms increase during phases of the menstrual cycle when estradiol levels decline (Cameron et al., 1988). Similarly in rodents, treatment of ovariectomized females with estradiol often reduces anxiety-like behavior (Kalandakanond-Thongsong et al., 2012; Tian et al., 2013, but see, Mora et al., 1996).
Estrogen Receptors Modulation of Anxiety-Like Behavior
2017, Vitamins and HormonesCitation Excerpt :By contrast, an increase in anxiety symptoms has also been noted when estradiol levels drop, such as following surgical menopause (Rocca et al., 2008) and in postmenopausal women (Sahingoz, Uguz, & Gezginc, 2011). Moreover, toward the end of the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle, which is characterized by a dramatic decline in circulating estradiol levels, there is an increase in symptoms of anxiety in patients with anxiety disorders (Cameron, Kuttesch, McPhee, & Curtis, 1988), as well as in patients with premenstrual disorders (Yonkers, O’Brien, & Eriksson, 2008). While the association between anxiety symptoms and low endogenous estradiol levels might suggest a therapeutic effect of estrogens, both clinical and preclinical studies have reported that treatment with estradiol yields contradictory results.
Sex determinants of experimental panic attacks
2014, Neuroscience and Biobehavioral ReviewsCitation Excerpt :Women with panic disorder commonly show menstrual cycle-linked fluctuations in the symptoms of panic anxiety. An increase in anxiety symptoms and in the frequency of panic attacks has been reported to occur during the late luteal (premenstrual) phase (Breier et al., 1986; Cameron et al., 1988; Kaspi et al., 1994; Sigmon et al., 2000 but see Stein et al., 1989). In susceptible individuals panic symptoms can also be induced experimentally by chemical provocation, e.g., by intravenous infusion of sodium lactate, CCK-4 or pentagastrin or by inhalation of CO2-enriched air (Eser et al., 2007; Facchinetti et al., 1992; Lapierre et al., 1984; Liebowitz et al., 1986; Leibold et al., 2013).
