Sexual differentiation of the rodent brain: dogma and beyond
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2012 Steroid hormones of gonadal origin act on the neonatal brain to produce sex differences that underlie adult reproductive physiology and behavior. Neuronal sex differences occur on a variety of levels, including differences in regional volume and/or cell

Rat Ovarian Function Is Impaired during Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis
Cells, 2023 Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease affecting the CNS and occurring far more prevalently in women than in men. In both MS and its animal models, sex hormones play important immunomodulatory roles.

Sexual Differentiation of Circadian Clock Function in the Adrenal Gland [PDF]
, 2016 Sex differences in glucocorticoid production are associated with increased responsiveness of the adrenal gland in females. However, the adrenal-intrinsic mechanisms that establish sexual dimorphic function remain ill defined. Glucocorticoid production is

Tunable and Sensitive Detection of Cortisol using Anisotropic Phosphorene with a Surface Plasmon Resonance Technique: Numerical Investigation [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Tunable and ultrasensitive surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors are highly desirable for monitoring stress hormones such as cortisol, a steroid hormone formed in the adrenal glands in the human body. This paper describes the detection of cortisol using a bimetallic SPR sensor based on highly anisotropic two-dimensional material, i.e., phosphorene ...

Gonadotropin and kisspeptin gene expression, but not GnRH, are impaired in cFOS deficient mice. [PDF]
, 2015 cFOS is a pleiotropic transcription factor, which binds to the AP1 site in the promoter of target genes. In the pituitary gonadotropes, cFOS mediates induction of FSHβ and GnRH receptor genes.

Action of the Metalloproteinases in Gonadal Remodeling during Sex Reversal in the Sequential Hermaphroditism of the Teleostei Fish Synbranchus marmoratus (Synbranchiformes: Synbranchidae) [PDF]
, 2018 Teleostei present great plasticity regarding sex change. During sex reversal, the whole gonadincluding the germinal epithelium undergoes significant changes, remodeling, and neoformation.However, there is no information on the changes that occur within ...
