Blood samples...

Impact of sex in the prevalence and progression of glioblastomas: the role of gonadal steroid hormones.

Biology of sex differences

PMID: 33752729
Biol Sex Differ. 2021 Mar 22;12(1):28. doi: 10.1186/s13293-021-00372-5.

BACKGROUND: As in other types of cancers, sex is an essential factor in the origin and progression of glioblastomas. Research in the field of endocrinology and cancer suggests that gonadal steroid hormones play an important role in the progression...

The effect of hormone replacement therapy on cognitive function in postmenopausal women: An RCT.

International journal of reproductive biomedicine

Moradi F, Jahanian Sadatmahalleh S, Ziaei S.
PMID: 31417982
Int J Reprod Biomed. 2019 Jan 28;16(12). doi: 10.18502/ijrm.v16i12.3682. eCollection 2018 Dec.

BACKGROUND: During the reproductive age, the human brain becomes a target for gonadal steroid hormones. Estrogens influence neural function through effects on neurons and affects indirectly the oxidative stress, inflammation, the cerebral vascular and the immune system.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate...

Linking socio-sexual and vocal behaviour with faecal progesterone and oestrogen metabolite levels in Southern white rhinoceros females.

Conservation physiology

Jenikejew J, Wauters J, Dehnhard M, Scheumann M.
PMID: 34987828
Conserv Physiol. 2021 Dec 29;9(1):coab098. doi: 10.1093/conphys/coab098. eCollection 2021.

Progesterone and oestrogen are the main gonadal steroid hormones that regulate the ovarian activity and induce the fertile oestrus period in females. The monitoring of this receptive phase is particularly decisive for captive breeding and is commonly based on...

The effect of long-term thyroid-stimulating hormone suppressive therapy on the gonadal steroid hormones of patients with thyroid carcinoma after surgery.

Gland surgery

Liu X, Zhou Y, Liang N, Hong Y, Dionigi G, Sun H.

BACKGROUND: To analyze the effect of long-term thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) suppressive therapy on the gonadal hormones and related symptoms in patients after surgery.METHODS: From 2008 to 2011, totally 238 patients were recruited, who underwent thyroid surgery and subsequent TSH...

Estrogenic regulation of the GnRH neuron.

Frontiers in endocrinology

Radovick S, Levine JE, Wolfe A.
PMID: 22654870
Front Endocrinol (Lausanne). 2012 Apr 09;3:52. doi: 10.3389/fendo.2012.00052. eCollection 2012.

Reproductive function is regulated by the secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone from the pituitary and the steroid hormones from the gonads. The dynamic changes in the levels of the reproductive hormones regulate secondary sex characteristics, gametogenesis,...

High-normal Glucose Levels in Non-diabetic and Pre-diabetic Men Are Associated with Decreased Testosterone Levels.

Korean journal of family medicine

Shin JY, Park EK, Park BJ, Shim JY, Lee HR.
PMID: 22787537
Korean J Fam Med. 2012 May;33(3):152-6. doi: 10.4082/kjfm.2012.33.3.152. Epub 2012 May 24.

BACKGROUND: Testosterone levels are decreased in diabetic patients and recent studies have suggested that high-normal fasting glucose is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. To further elucidate the relationship between plasma glucose and testosterone, we investigated the association between...

Sex difference in the mouse BAT transcriptome reveals a role of progesterone.

Journal of molecular endocrinology

Kaikaew K, Grefhorst A, Steenbergen J, Swagemakers SMA, McLuskey A, Visser JA.
