Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) exposure disrupts oocyte maturation and early embryonic development. This study elucidates the mechanism by which enhanced O‐GlcNAcylation of FOXK1 underlies the PFOS‐induced reduction of progesterone levels in granulosa cells and the disturbance of follicular microenvironment.

Possible andrologic markers in elevated neonatal 17-hydroxyprogesterone
In this prospective study, we analyzed 30 male infants with increased neonatal 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17OH-P) (patients) and for comparison 52 age-matched healthy babies (control subjects) with the aim of investigating the hypothalamic-pituitary-testis axis in the first 6 months of life.

Validation of grizzly bear hair hormone profiles as a tool to monitor population demographics
We measured 16 steroid and thyroid hormone concentrations in grizzly bear hair to predict sex, age class, and reproductive status. Models were highly accurate when predicting sex and age class and showed promise for assessing reproductive status. Results illustrate the potential for hair hormone profiles as non‐invasive population monitoring tools ...

Estrone and estradiol concentrations in human ovaries, testes, and adrenals during the first two years of life [PDF]
To determine the origin of estrogens in infant blood, we measured estrone (E1) and estradiol (E2) in the gonads of 50 girls and 64 boys who died suddenly between birth and 2 yr of age as well as in the adrenals of 18 of these infant girls and 16 of the ...
