Androgens’ effects on cerebrovascular function in health and disease
Biology of Sex Differences, 2020 Androgens affect the cerebral vasculature and may contribute to sex differences in cerebrovascular diseases. Men are at a greater risk for stroke and vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID) compared to women throughout much of ...

Influence of Androgens on Immunity to Self and Foreign: Effects on Immunity and Cancer
Frontiers in Immunology, 2020 It is well-known that sex hormones can directly and indirectly influence immune cell function. Different studies support a suppressive role of androgens on different components of the immune system by decreasing antibody production, T cell proliferation,

Profiling of androgen response in rainbow trout pubertal testis: relevance to male gonad development and spermatogenesis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The capacity of testicular somatic cells to promote and sustain germ cell differentiation is largely regulated by sexual steroids and notably androgens. In fish species the importance of androgens is emphasized by their ability to induce sex reversal of ...

Estrogens and Androgens in Plants: The Last 20 Years of Studies
Plants, 2021 Although the only known steroid hormones in plants are brassinosteroids, interestingly, mammalian steroid hormones such as androgens or estrogens are also part of the plant metabolic profile. This presented review is focused on the progress that has been

Impact of estrogens in males and androgens in females.
Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2019 Androgens and estrogens are known to be critical regulators of mammalian physiology and development. While these two classes of steroids share similar structures (in general, estrogens are derived from androgens via the enzyme aromatase), they subserve ...
