Effect of Menstrual Cycle Phases on Plasma Lipid and Lipoprotein Levels in Regularly Menstruating Women [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2017
Introduction: Physiological cyclic variability in levels of sex hormones during a menstrual cycle may possibly have an impact on lipids, lipoprotein levels and therefore on cardiovascular health status of females.

Pregnenolone Reduces L‐Dopa‐Induced Dyskinesias in Female Parkinsonian Monkeys

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Pregnenolone is the first neurosteroid synthesized from cholesterol in the brain. Ovariectomized female monkeys were tested as a model of women in menopause. They were lesioned with MPTP modeling Parkinson's disease and treated with levodopa (L‐dopa) to induce dyskinesias.

Plasma ACTH, α-MSH and cortisol variations in the dog during the oestrous cycle in different photoperiods [PDF]

, 2015
The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) is a complex system regulated by multiple factors.Sexual dimorphism of this axis has been described in different species under physiological conditions and it hasbeen proposed that sexual hormones could have ...

Quantification of steroid hormones in free‐ranging Apennine wolf Canis lupus italicus hair samples collected post‐mortem

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
After decades of dramatic reductions in their populations, Italian wolves have begun recolonizing parts of their historic range. This growth in populations can lead to potential conflicts with human activities, which remain the main cause of wolf mortality.

Protective effects of gonadal hormones on spinal motoneurons following spinal cord injury

Neural Regeneration Research, 2018
Spinal cord injury (SCI) results in lesions that destroy tissue and disrupt spinal tracts, producing deficits in locomotor and autonomic function. The majority of treatment strategies after SCI have concentrated on the damaged spinal cord, for example ...

Regulation of reproduction via tight control of gonadotropin hormone levels. [PDF]

, 2018
Mammalian reproduction is controlled by the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. GnRH from the hypothalamus regulates synthesis and secretion of gonadotropins, LH and FSH, which then control steroidogenesis and gametogenesis. In females, serum LH and FSH

An epigenomic threshold hypothesis for integrating dynamic environmental signals into functional models of developmental polyphenisms

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Interactions between developing embryos and a multitude of environmental factors (e.g. climate, nutrition, social cues, stress and anthropogenic contaminants) underlie adaptive and non‐adaptive developmental plasticity and carry broad implications across ecological ...

Associations of plasma sex‐related hormone and protein levels and alcohol dependence

Addiction, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Aims Sex‐related hormones and proteins may underlie sex differences in alcohol use disorder characteristics and consequences. Previous reports suggest steroid sex hormones may influence alcohol consumption behaviors while proteins that regulate their circulation levels are rarely investigated.
