Alterations in hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis activity and in levels of proopiomelanocortin and corticotropin-releasing hormone-receptor 1 mRNAs in the pituitary and hypothalamus of the rat during chronic ‘binge’ cocaine and withdrawal

Tolerance to the stimulatory effects of cocaine on the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis develops after chronic ‘binge’ cocaine exposure in the rat. This blunting of HPA axis activity in response to cocaine is associated with a cocaine-induced reduction of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CR...
