A Mechanistic Model for the HPA Axis Cortisol Paradox in PTSD

Dor Danan, Yaniv Grosskopf, Yoav Hayut, Yoel Toledano, Keren Doenyas‐Barak, Avi Mayo, Uri S. Alon

The paper develops a mechanistic model of the HPA axis to explain the cortisol paradox in PTSD, showing that enhanced GR sensitivity leads to low cortisol with normal ACTH and elevated GR activity.

Hormone circuit analysis explains why most HPA drugs fail for mood disorders and predicts the few that work

Tomer Milo, Shiraz Nir Halber, Moriya Raz, Dor Danan, Avi Mayo, Uri S. Alon

The paper uses a mathematical model of the HPA axis to show that only CRH-targeting drugs can lower long-term cortisol in mood disorders, while other targets fail due to gland-mass compensation.
