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 ...

Exploring a Possible Interplay between Schizophrenia, Oxytocin, and Estrogens: A Narrative Review
Brain Sciences, 2023 Schizophrenia is characterized by symptoms of psychosis and sociocognitive deficits. Considering oxytocin’s antipsychotic and prosocial properties, numerous clinical, and preclinical studies have explored the neuropeptide’s therapeutic efficacy.

Gonadal steroid hormones and the hypothalamo–pituitary–adrenal axis [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroendocrinology, 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 direct response of the gonads to cues of stress in a temperate songbird species is season-dependent. [PDF]
, 2013 The gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) system in the hypothalamus is often considered the final point in integration of environmental cues as they pertain to the reproductive axis.

Are gonadal steroid hormones involved in disorders of brain aging? [PDF]
Aging Cell, 2003 SummaryHuman aging is associated with a decrease of circulating gonadal steroid hormones. Since these hormones act as trophic factors for neurones and glia, it is possible that the decrease in sex steroid levels may contribute to the increased risk of neurodegenerative disorders with advanced age.

Estrogenic Regulation of the GnRH Neuron
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2012 Reproductive function is regulated by the secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) from the pituitary and the steroid hormones from the gonads.

Zygoparity and sex steroid hormone profiles in bluemouth Helicolenus dactylopterus [PDF]
, 2017 Two hundred and seven individuals (103 females and 104 males) of bluemouth Helicolenus dactylopterus (Scorpaeniformes, Sebastidae), a commercially important deep-water species with an unusual reproductive strategy, from the eastern Atlantic Ocean ranging

Indian Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2014 Male reproduction is governed by the classical hypothalamo-hypophyseal testicular axis: Hypothalamic gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH), pituitary luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and the gonadal steroid, principally ...

Gonadal hormones, but not sex, affect the acquisition and maintenance of a Go/No-Go odor discrimination task in mice [PDF]
, 2018 In mice, olfaction is crucial for identifying social odors (pheromones) that signal the presence of suitable mates. We used a custom-built olfactometer and a thirst-motivated olfactory discrimination Go/No-Go (GNG) task to ask whether discrimination of ...
