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

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 ...

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 ...

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.

The organizing actions of adolescent gonadal steroid hormones on brain and behavioral development. [PDF]
Neurosci Biobehav Rev, 2016 Adolescence is a developmental period characterized by dramatic changes in cognition, risk-taking and social behavior. Although gonadal steroid hormones are well-known mediators of these behaviors in adulthood, the role gonadal steroid hormones play in shaping the adolescent brain and behavioral development has only come to light in recent years.

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

Role of gonadally synthesized steroid hormones in the colorectal cancer microenvironment [PDF]
Frontiers in Oncology, 2023 ObjectiveTo understand the relationship between steroid hormones synthesized by the gonads and colorectal cancer as well as its tumor microenvironment, in the expectation of providing new ideas in order to detect and treat colorectal cancer.MethodsThrough reviewing the relevant literature at home and abroad, we summarized that androgens promote the ...

Psychomotor reminiscence as a function of gonadal steroid hormone variation [PDF]
Bulletin of the Psychonomic Society, 1979 Psychomotor reminiscence was studied in relation to endogenous variations in estrogenic hormone levels. Forty-three young adult females monitored their menstrual cycles for two replications, then reported for testing on Day 2, 8, or 14 of their cycles.
