research The influence of non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) on the ovarian production of androgens in a context of in vitro fertilisation (IVF) – preliminary results
High levels of fatty acids are linked to increased androgen production and inflammation in women with PCOS, which may affect IVF outcomes.
research Cortisol Enhances the Expression of mac25/Insulin-Like Growth Factor-Binding Protein-Related Protein-1 in Cultured Osteoblasts**This work was supported by NIDDK Grant DK-45227 and a scholarship (to R.C.P.) from Fundacao Coordenacao de Aperfeicoa mento de Pessoal de Nivel Superior (CAPES), Universidade de Sao Paulo (Sao Paulo, Brazil).
Cortisol increases a specific protein in bone cells, which may help explain its negative effects on bone.
research Biological activity of novel progesterone derivatives having a bulky ester side chains at C-3
The more lipophilic the progesterone derivative, the better it binds to androgen receptors and has antiandrogenic effects.
research Uncomplicated differentiation of stem cells into bipolar neurons and myelinating glia
Hair follicles can be used to easily create neurons and glial cells for potential nerve repair.
research Measuring steroids in hair opens up possibilities to identify congenital adrenal hyperplasia in developing countries
Hair steroid measurement is an effective method to diagnose and monitor CAH in developing countries.
research Pharmacology of antiandrogens
Antiandrogens affect androgen-dependent body functions and are used for various medical conditions, with some risks like fetus feminization, but new forms like 17α-propylmesterolone show promise for acne without systemic effects.
research Hydroxylation of dehydroepiandrosterone in human scalp hair folhcles
The enzyme system in hair follicles is similar to the liver's and is affected by certain inhibitors.
research Why steroids may not always work in alopecia areata: elevated unoccupied glucocorticoid receptors and decreased levels of thioredoxin
Steroids may not work well for alopecia areata because of high unoccupied receptors and low thioredoxin levels.
research The neurosteroidogenic enzyme 5α-reductase modulates the role of D1 dopamine receptors in rat sensorimotor gating
5α-reductase affects dopamine receptors linked to sensorimotor gating, which may help understand disorders like schizophrenia.
research Post Menopausal Hyperandrogenism: A Case of a Steroid Cell Tumor of the Ovary
A woman's severe hormone imbalance after menopause led to finding a rare ovarian tumor, treated by surgery.
research Neuregulin3 alters cell fate in the epidermis and mammary gland
Neuregulin3 affects cell development in the skin and mammary glands.
research Influence of estrogens on the androgen metabolism in different subunits of human hair follicles.
Estrogens can reduce DHT production in hair follicles, but are less effective than finasteride and progesterone.
research Antihormonal properties of some new A-homo-B, 19-dinor steroids of the androstane series
New A-homo-B, 19-dinor steroids showed strong antiandrogenic activity without affecting the enzyme 5α-reductase or androgen receptor binding.
research 7696 Ovarian Steroid Cell Tumor Presenting As Non-classical Adrenal Hyperplasia
Ovarian steroid cell tumors can mimic adrenal hyperplasia, and surgery can normalize hormone levels.
research The influence of selected steroid hormones on the physicochemical behaviour of DPPC liposomes
Steroid hormones change the size, charge, and stability of DPPC liposomes.
research Roles of steroid receptors in the lung and COVID-19
Sex hormones may influence COVID-19 severity, with males at higher risk, and certain hormone therapies could potentially treat the virus.
research Influence of glucocorticoids on a time-of-day-dependent variation in intradermal reactivity to histamine in dogs
Glucocorticoids affect dogs' skin reactions to histamine, which vary by time of day.
research Supraphysiological Dose of Testosterone Impairs the Expression and Distribution of Sex Steroid Receptors during Endometrial Receptivity Development in Female Sprague–Dawley Rats
High doses of testosterone disrupt hormone levels and receptor expression in the uterus, affecting fertility.
research Androgens induce sebaceous differentiation in sebocyte cells expressing a stable functional androgen receptor
Androgens cause oil-producing skin cells with androgen receptors to mature and produce more oil.
research Differential dependency of unmyelinated and A delta epidermal and upper dermal innervation on neurotrophins, trk receptors, and p75LNGFR.
Neurotrophins regulate nerve growth by balancing promotion and suppression.
research 5α-Reductase inhibitors, antiviral and anti-tumor activities of some steroidal cyanopyridinone derivatives
Some newly made compounds are promising for treating enlarged prostate, hair loss, viruses, and prostate cancer, and might be better than current drugs.
research Sex hormones and acne
Sex hormones, especially androgens, play a key role in causing acne.
research The genetics of autism and steroid-related traits in prenatal and postnatal life
Autism's genetics are linked with early age of puberty and less hair loss, but not with hormone levels or polycystic ovary syndrome.
research A Connection between the Mitochondrial Permeability Transition Pore, Autophagy, and Cerebral Amyloidogenesis
Dutasteride may help reduce brain plaque linked to Alzheimer's by affecting cell energy structures and waste removal.
research Hormones and the pilosebaceous unit
Hormones significantly affect hair and oil gland function in the skin, and more research is needed on skin-related hormone disorders.
research Expression patterns of the glial cell line–derived neurotrophic factor, neurturin, their cognate receptors GFRα-1, GFRα-2, and a common signal transduction element c-Ret in the human skin hair follicles
Certain proteins and their receptors are more active during the growth phase of human hair and could be targeted to treat hair disorders.
research Altered brain and pituitary androgen metabolism by prenatal, perinatal or pre- and postnatal finasteride, flutamide or dihydrotestosterone treatment in juvenile male rats
Treatment during development affects hormone balance and sexual behavior in male rats.
