Contribution of the adrenal gland to the production of androstenedione and testosterone during the first two years of life [PDF]
Androstenedione and testosterone were measured in whole adrenal glands of 56 previously healthy boys who died suddenly between birth and 2 yr of age. In each adrenal gland, the concentration of androstenedione considerably exceeded that of testosterone ...

Genetic Testing Referral Rates for Pheochromocytoma and Paraganglioma in an Academic Tertiary Centre
ABSTRACT Background Clinical guidelines recommend genetic counselling for all patients with pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma (PPGL). Barriers to accessing genetics evaluation are incompletely understood. The objective of this study was to identify individual‐ and provider‐level barriers to genetic testing.

Effect of different types of stress on adrenal gland parameters and adrenal hormones in the blood serum of male Wistar rats [PDF]
In the present study, we examined gross changes in the mass of whole adrenal glands and that of the adrenal cortex and medulla in mature male Wistar rats subjected to three different stress types: acute, chronic, and combined, i.e., chronic followed by ...

Cytological Assessment of Adrenal Tumours: Insights From 22‐Years Single Centre Experience
ABSTRACT Objective The incidence of adrenal tumours has increased in the last decades, mainly due to increased use of imaging. The diagnostic evaluation of adrenal masses can be complex and, in some cases, necessitates cytological evaluation. However, concerns remain regarding the potential complications associated with adrenal gland biopsy.

Grey matter volume correlates with virtual water maze task performance in boys with androgen excess [PDF]
Major questions remain about the specific role of testosterone in human spatial navigation. We tested 10 boys (mean age 11.65 years) with an extremely rare disorder of androgen excess (Familial Male Precocious Puberty, FMPP) and 40 healthy boys (mean age

ABSTRACT Introduction Worldwide, combined 17‐hydroxylase/17,20‐lyase deficiency (CYP17D) is a rare form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, but it is the second most prevalent type in Brazil. An absence of sexual differentiation and hypergonadotropic hypogonadism arise from a reduction in the usual pattern of sex steroid formation in the adrenals and ...

Society for Endocrinology Clinical Practice Guideline for the Evaluation of Androgen Excess in Women
ABSTRACT Context Androgen excess is common in women and refers to clinical or biochemical evidence of elevated androgenic steroids such as testosterone. It is associated with underlying polycystic ovary syndrome in the majority of cases. However severe androgen excess is less common and may indicate the presence of underlying adrenal or ovarian ...

Summary Chronic stress, characterized by increased long‐term exposure to the glucocorticoid hormone cortisol, is increasingly linked to obesity development. Still, various knowledge gaps persist, including on underlying pathophysiological mechanisms. The aim of the current review is to provide the latest insights on the connection between stress and ...
