Impact of sex in the prevalence and progression of glioblastomas: the role of gonadal steroid hormones [PDF]
Biology of Sex Differences, 2021 Background As in other types of cancers, sex is an essential factor in the origin and progression of glioblastomas. Research in the field of endocrinology and cancer suggests that gonadal steroid hormones play an important role in the progression and ...

Role of Gonadal Steroid Hormones in the Eye: Therapeutic Implications [PDF]
BiomoleculesGonadal steroid hormones are critical regulatory substances involved in various developmental and physiological processes from fetal development through adulthood. These hormones, derived from cholesterol, are synthesized primarily by the gonads, adrenal

Gonadal steroid hormones and the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis. [PDF]
Front Neuroendocrinol, 2014 The hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis represents a complex neuroendocrine feedback loop controlling the secretion of adrenal glucocorticoid hormones. Central to its function is the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVN) where neurons expressing corticotropin releasing factor reside.

Neurosteroid Metabolites of Gonadal Steroid Hormones in Neuroprotection: Implications for Sex Differences in Neurodegenerative Disease [PDF]
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2018 Gonadal steroid hormones are neurotrophic and neuroprotective. These effects are modulated by local metabolism of the hormones within the brain. Such control is necessary to maintain normal function, as several signaling pathways that are activated by ...

Modulation of appetite by gonadal steroid hormones [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2006 Several sex differences in eating, their control by gonadal steroid hormones and their peripheral and central mediating mechanisms are reviewed. Adult female rats and mice as well as women eat less during the peri-ovulatory phase of the ovarian cycle (estrus in rats and mice) than other phases, an effect under the control of cyclic changes in estradiol

Serum gonadal steroid hormones in young schizophrenic patients [PDF]
Psychoneuroendocrinology, 1994 Psychosis is reported to show a later age of onset in women than in men and its nature and course in women may also differ. The purpose of this study was to determine if levels of four steroid hormones at the start of early onset psychosis differ from the levels of other groups of young people and if predicted low levels of estrogen (E2) are a feature ...
