Modulation of appetite by gonadal steroid hormones [PDF]
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

Morphology, histology and steroid hormones of the gonads in intersex pigs [PDF]
Summary. Studies of 3 genetically female, intersex pigs revealed that only one showed oestrous cycles and lordosis, the other 2 exhibited various components of male sexual behaviour. Each uterus was a patent bicornuate structure, but 5 of the oviducts were incompletely formed.

Elevated plasma corticosterone decreases yolk testosterone and progesterone in chickens: linking maternal stress and hormone-mediated maternal effects. [PDF]
Despite considerable research on hormone-mediated maternal effects in birds, the underlying physiology remains poorly understood. This study investigated a potential regulation mechanism for differential accumulation of gonadal hormones in bird eggs ...

Serum gonadal steroid hormones in young schizophrenic patients [PDF]
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 ...

Skin exposure to UVB light induces a skin-brain-gonad axis and sexual behavior
Summary: Ultraviolet (UV) light affects endocrinological and behavioral aspects of sexuality via an unknown mechanism. Here we discover that ultraviolet B (UVB) exposure enhances the levels of sex-steroid hormones and sexual behavior, which are mediated ...

Background Gonadal steroid hormones have been suggested as the underlying mechanism responsible for the sexual dimorphism observed in metabolic diseases. Animal studies have also evidenced a causal role of the gut microbiome and metabolic health. However,
