420-450 / 1000+ resultsresearch Studies on neurosteroids XXIV. Determination of neuroactive androgens, androsterone and 5α‐androstane‐3α,17β‐diol, in rat brain and serum using liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry
The methods accurately measured brain androgens, showing most 5α-androstane-3α,17β-diol comes from outside the brain, while androsterone is both transported and made in the brain.
research A second case of effective eradication of alopecia areata following treatment with the dopaminergic drug dextroamphetamine
Dextroamphetamine may help treat alopecia areata.
research Influence of the alkylsulfonylamino substituent located at the 6-position of 2,2-dimethylchromans structurally related to cromakalim: From potassium channel openers to calcium entry blockers?
New compounds similar to cromakalim were less effective at inhibiting insulin release but improved in solubility and one acted as a calcium entry blocker, not a potassium channel opener.
research Nonclassic adrenal hyperplasia
Nonclassic adrenal hyperplasia is a genetic condition that can cause early puberty and fertility problems, treated with specific steroids.
research Relating neurosteroid modulation of inhibitory neurotransmission to behaviour
Neurosteroids can influence behavior by modulating brain inhibition, with potential for treating psychiatric disorders.
research The neurosteroid metabolite of progesterone, 3α‐OH‐dihydroprogesterone (3α‐OH‐DHP), is required for attenuated baroreflex mediated sympathoexcitation in pregnancy
3α‐OH‐DHP is essential for reducing nerve activity related to blood pressure control during pregnancy.
research 892 Behavior of the two circulating androgens testosterone and DHEA and their main intracellular metabolites in an androgen-sensitive sebocyte cell line
Testosterone affects androgen receptors and lipid storage in cells, while DHEA does not convert to testosterone or affect these receptors in the same way.
research Roles of Type 10 17beta-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase in Intracrinology and Metabolism of Isoleucine and Fatty Acids
This enzyme helps metabolize fatty acids and isoleucine, and could be key in treating neurological diseases and certain cancers.
research Sex Hormones and their Analogues in Neuroimmune Biology
Sex hormones influence immune responses and may help treat diseases.
research Myocyte Androgen Receptor Modulates Body Composition and Metabolic Parameters
Activating androgen receptors in muscle can increase muscle mass and reduce fat.
research Testosterone alters iron metabolism and stimulates red blood cell production independently of dihydrotestosterone
Testosterone boosts red blood cell production and changes iron metabolism without needing dihydrotestosterone.
research Organizational Effects of Estrogens and Androgens on Estrogen and Androgen Receptor Expression in Pituitary and Adrenal Glands in Adult Male and Female Rats
Early hormones shape sex-specific differences in rat glands.
research Intracrine testosterone activation in human pancreatic β cells stimulates insulin secretion.
Testosterone in human pancreas cells boosts insulin production.
research Steroid Biomarkers and Genetic Studies Reveal Inactivating Mutations in Hexose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase in Patients with Cortisone Reductase Deficiency
Certain mutations in the H6PD gene cause Cortisone Reductase Deficiency by affecting hormone production.
research Features of steroidogenesis and arterial hypertension in men in different types of "physiological" male hyperandrogenism
Men with high testosterone may have higher morning blood pressure, unlike those with high DHT.
research Possible involvement of 5α-reduced neurosteroids in adrenergic and serotonergic stimulation of GFAP gene expression in rat C6 glioma cells
5α-reduced neurosteroids may help regulate glial cell differentiation.
research Male sex hormone and reduced plakoglobin jointly impair atrial conduction and cardiac sodium currents
Male hormones and reduced plakoglobin can impair heart electrical function and increase arrhythmia risk in males.
research Cardiac and Medullary Neuroinflammatory Pathways Trigger Androgenic Incitement of Cardiovascular Sequels of Endotoxemia in Rats
Testosterone increases heart and blood pressure issues in rats with endotoxemia, and stopping testosterone production can reduce these problems.
research Kojyl Cinnamate Ester Derivatives Increase Adiponectin Expression and Stimulate Adiponectin-Induced Hair Growth Factors in Human Dermal Papilla Cells
Kojyl cinnamate ester derivatives can promote hair growth by increasing adiponectin production in fat tissues.
research SAT645 Cardiac Autonomic Modulation In Transgender Men Under Gender-affirming Hormone Therapy
Testosterone treatment may affect heart response to stress in transgender men.
research New effects of caffeine on corticotropin‐releasing hormone (CRH)‐induced stress along the intrafollicular classical hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis (CRH‐R1/2, IP3‐R, ACTH, MC‐R2) and the neurogenic non‐HPA axis (substance P, p75NTRand TrkA) inex vivohuman male androgenetic scalp hair follicles
Caffeine may help reduce stress-induced hair loss.
research OR09-5 Importance of Islet Intracrinology for Glucose-Stimulated Insulin Secretion (GSIS) in the Male
Androgens and estrogens are crucial for insulin secretion in males.
research Impact of One-Week Administration of Dihydrotestosterone in Rat Anterior Pituitary Gland
Dihydrotestosterone changes some hormone-related gene expressions in rat pituitary glands but doesn't affect the estrous cycle.
research 176 Characterising Neurotransmitter Signalling in Human Skin and Hair Follicles
Skin and hair cells release serotonin and histamine naturally, which could help improve skin health.
research Visual Vignette
The woman's symptoms and tests suggest her adrenal glands are producing too many male hormones.
research Šunų Kraujo Rodiklių ir kliniškai Simptomų pokyčių įvertinimas, esant prieinksčių funkcijų sutrikimams
Clinical signs and blood tests are not very helpful in diagnosing hyperadrenocorticism in dogs.
research Arecaceae
Chewing betel nut may increase the risk of type 2 diabetes, and saw palmetto can improve urinary symptoms in BPH with fewer side effects but may cause bleeding and allergic reactions.
research Plasma Androgens in Children and Adolescents
Normal androgen levels need ACTH, and different mechanisms control adrenarche and gonadarche.
