30-60 / 1000+ results research Abstract 14
A 15-year-old girl with rare reproductive disorders received hormone therapy to develop secondary sexual traits, but infertility persisted.
research Temporal expression and steroidal regulation of piRNA pathway genes (mael, piwi, vasa) during Silurana (Xenopus) tropicalis embryogenesis and early larval development
The piRNA pathway genes are crucial in early development and may influence sex differentiation through hormone regulation.
research Fertility and sexual life of men after their forties and in older age.
Men's fertility and sexual health decline with age, with reduced testosterone and virility, and many lose fertility by their eighties.
research Significant Effects of Mild Endogenous Hormonal Changes in Humans: Considerations for Low-Dose Testing
Small hormonal imbalances can cause significant health problems, so more sensitive testing for hormone-disrupting chemicals is needed.
research The diversity of sex development: What do conditions affecting sex development teach us about sexual diversity?
Conditions affecting sex development show that sexual diversity is a natural part of human variation.
research Fertility and sexual life of men after their forties and in older age
Men's fertility and sexual health decline with age, but some remain fertile into their eighties.
research Androgenic modulation of arterial baroreceptor dysfunction and neuroinflammation in endotoxic male rats
Testosterone affects blood pressure control and inflammation in male rats with endotoxic shock, and blocking certain hormones may help treat it.
research Physiology of Testicular Function
The testes produce sperm and hormones essential for male development.
research Microglia: sculptors of the polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)-like brain?
Microglia, the brain's immune cells, may contribute to Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) by altering the female brain's structure and function, with kisspeptin neurons and GABA neurotransmitters also playing a role.
research Insulin administration alters gonadal steroid metabolism independent of changes in gonadotropin secretion in insulin-resistant women with the polycystic ovary syndrome.
Insulin changes sex hormone levels in women with polycystic ovary syndrome without affecting other hormone releases.
research Gonadal Function Abnormalities in Sickle Cell Anemia
Sickle cell anemia causes hormone issues and delayed puberty due to testicular failure.
research Corticotropin releasing factor-1 receptor antagonism associated with favorable outcomes of male reproductive health biochemical parameters
Blocking CRF1 receptors improved male hormone levels and reduced testicular tumor size in men with a specific adrenal condition.
research Neuroendocrine Determinants of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Certain brain hormones and chemicals are linked to the development of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.
research Exposure of Xenopus laevis tadpoles to finasteride, an inhibitor of 5-α reductase activity, impairs spermatogenesis and alters hypophyseal feedback mechanisms
Finasteride exposure harms tadpole reproduction and hormone balance.
research Lack of a gonadal or adrenal androgenic mechanism for the hypertrichosis produced by diazoxide, phenytoin and minoxidil
These drugs cause hair growth without affecting testosterone or adrenal hormones.
research Gonads
The document concludes that accurate diagnosis of male and female gonadal disorders is crucial for effective treatment and better patient outcomes.
research Effect of perfluorooctanesulfonate exposure on steroid hormone levels and steroidogenic enzyme activities in juvenile Silurana tropicalis
PFOS exposure disrupts hormone levels and enzyme activities in juvenile frogs, affecting males and females differently.
research Delayed Puberty
Delayed puberty often runs in families, can affect growth, and may need hormone treatment.
research The laboratory in the multidisciplinary diagnosis of differences or disorders of sex development (DSD)
Diagnosing sex development disorders requires combining medical history, physical exams, imaging, lab tests, and genetic data.
research Case Report: Disorder of Sexual Development in a Chinese Crested Dog With XX/XY Leukocyte Chimerism and Mixed Cell Testicular Tumors
A female dog with mixed male and female traits was treated successfully with surgery.
research Dermatologic care of patients with differences of sex development
Dermatologists are crucial in providing personalized care for patients with sex development differences.
research Does a male polycystic ovarian syndrome equivalent exist?
Early onset baldness in men may indicate a condition similar to PCOS, linked to heart disease, diabetes, and prostate issues.
research Molecular basis of androgen action on human sexual desire
Testosterone significantly affects sexual desire in both men and women, but its impact on women is more complex and influenced by psychological factors.
research Endocrine Functions of the Testes
The testes produce important hormones like testosterone and others that play key roles in male body functions.
research Finasteride and male fertility
Finasteride may decrease semen quality but not harm sperm production, and stopping the drug can improve semen quality; hyperprolactinemia can cause infertility but is treatable with medication.
research Latest advances in oral hormonal male contraception: efficacy, mechanisms of action, and future perspectives
New male contraceptive pills show promise in reducing sperm production with mild side effects.
research Delayed Puberty
Delayed puberty affects some teens, and early treatment with hormones can help improve their growth and social well-being.
research Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia is a rare inherited disease causing hormone imbalances, affecting growth, fertility, and heart health, diagnosed through blood tests and treated with medication and lifestyle changes.
research MON-336 Ovaries Reveal Their Inner Testes
A woman's severe male-like symptoms were caused by a rare, benign tumor in her ovary that produced male hormones.
