Steroidogenic differentiation of human amniotic membrane-derived mesenchymal stem cells into a progesterone-/androgen-producing cell lineage by SF-1 and an estrogen-producing cell lineage by WT1−KTS

Frontiers in Endocrinology
BackgroundSex steroid hormones, primarily synthesized by gonadal somatic cells, are pivotal for sexual development and reproduction. Mice studies have shown that two transcription factors, steroidogenic factor 1 (SF-1) and Wilms’ tumor 1 (WT1), are ...

Sex differences in addiction: gonadal hormones and substance use effects in women

European Psychiatry
Substance use disorders (SUD) affect differentially women and men. Although the prevalence has been reported higher in men, those women with addictive disorders present a more vulnerable profile and are less likely to enter treatment than men. The aim of

Vertebrate endocrine disruptors induce sex-reversal in blue mussels

Scientific Reports
Mollusks are the second most diverse animal phylum, yet little is known about their endocrinology or how they respond to endocrine disrupting compound (EDC) pollution. Characteristic effects of endocrine disruption are reproductive impairment, skewed sex

Steroid hormone-deprived sex reversal in cyp11a1 mutant XX tilapia experiences an ovary-like stage at molecular level

Communications Biology
Fish sex is largely influenced by steroid hormones, especially sex hormones. Here, we established a steroid hormone-free genetic model by mutation of cyp11a1 in Nile tilapia, which was confirmed by EIA assay.

Effects of empagliflozin on reproductive system in men without diabetes

Scientific Reports
Sodium-glucose cotransporter (SGLT) 2 inhibition is a well-known target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, renal disease and chronic heart failure. The protein SGLT2 is encoded by SLC5A2 (Solute Carrier Family 5 Member 2), which is highly expressed in
