Alcohol consumption, depression, overweight and cortisol levels as determining factors for NR3C1 gene methylation
Abstract The NR3C1 glucocorticoid receptor (GR) gene is a component of the stress response system, which can be regulated by epigenetic mechanisms. NR3C1 methylation has been associated with trauma and mental issues, including depression, post-traumatic stress, anxiety, and personality disorders. Pr...
