Androgens and the brain

Maturitas, 2007
Steroids arriving from the gonads via the circulation modulate brain function, affecting gender differentiation and sexually differentiated behavioral responses, but also the ability of the brain to process, store and retrieve sensory information. Androgens play a pivotal neuroactive role during the "organizational/developmental" phase, mainly in the ...

Androgens, Antiandrogens and Androgen Receptor Abnormalities

European Urology, 1996
Information on the molecular structure of the human androgen receptor has increased insight into the molecular mechanism of action of androgens and antiandrogens. It has also facilitated the study of molecular defects in the androgen receptor gene associated with prostate cancer.

Androgens and androgen receptors in breast cancer

The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2007
Aromatase (CYP19) converts adrenal and ovarian androgens into estrogens, which supports the growth of estrogen-dependent breast cancers. Anti-aromatase agents are displacing antiestrogens as the first-line treatment for estrogen receptor positive breast cancers.

Androgens

2016
Androgen abuse is the most potent and prevalent form of sports doping detected. It originated from the early years of the Cold War as an epidemic confined to drug cheating within elite power sports. In the decades following the end of the Cold War, it has become disseminated into an endemic based within the illicit drug subcultures serving recreational

Androgen antagonists in androgen target tissues

Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 1984
Most antiandrogens appear to act by binding to the androgen receptor and competitively inhibiting the binding of testosterone and cihydrotestosterone to the receptor. Focusing on those compounds which appear to inhibit androgen receptor mediated responses this review discusses the chemistry of those antiandrogens which have been studied to the extent ...

Androgens and osteoporosis

Andrologia, 2000
Androgen receptors are present in relevant numbers in osteoblasts. Stimulation of androgen receptors in osteoblastic bone marrow stromal cells inhibits the differentiation of osteoclasts in the bone marrow cavity. Androgens not only inhibit osteoclastogenesis but also increase cortical bone formation mainly by stimulating periosteal bone formation ...

Androgens, Anabolic-Androgenic Steroids, and Inhibitors

American Journal of Therapeutics, 2000
Androgens are steroid hormones responsible for male sexual characteristics, testosterone being the principal androgen secreted by the testes. Androgens have both masculinizing and growth-stimulating or anabolic effects. Synthetic analogs of androgens have been used by professional, as well as amateur, athletes for possible performance enhancement.
