Second to fourth digit ratio (2D:4D) and concentrations of circulating sex hormones in adulthood [PDF]
, 2011 BACKGROUND: The second to fourth digit ratio (2D:4D) is used as a marker of prenatal sex hormone exposure. The objective of this study was to examine whether circulating concentrations of sex hormones and SHBG measured in adulthood was associated with 2D:

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.Organoids and organ‐on‐a‐chips are advancing reproductive system research. In the female reproductive system, applications include cancer organoid models, placental chips, and hormone simulation models. For the male reproductive system, research focuses on drug resistance mechanisms, co‐culture platforms, and infertility studies. These refined in vitro

PM&R, EarlyView.Abstract Background Due to consequences of energy‐related oligo‐/amenorrhea (Oligo/Amen) among exercising females, recovery of menses (ROM) is a priority. ROM is inconsistently defined and rarely reported with reproductive hormone (estrogen, progesterone) data, making it difficult to know when females achieve adequate recovery. Objective The purpose of

Sex Hormones and the Risk of Nasal Polyps: A Two‐Sample Mendelian Randomization Study
World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective The pathophysiological roles of sex hormones in airway inflammation have drawn much attention recently. We aimed to explore the causal effect of sex hormones on chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and nasal polyps (NP) via a Mendelian randomization (MR) study.

Does sex hormone-binding globulin cause insulin resistance during pubertal growth?
Endocrine Connections, 2019 Background: The directional influences between serum sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), adiposity and insulin resistance during pubertal growth remain unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate bidirectional associations between SHBG and insulin

Kisspeptin as a test of hypothalamic dysfunction in pubertal and reproductive disorders
Andrology, EarlyView.Abstract The hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis is regulated by the gonadotropin‐releasing hormone pulse generator in the hypothalamus. This is comprised of neurons that secrete kisspeptin in a pulsatile manner to stimulate the release of GnRH, and, in turn, downstream gonadotropins from the pituitary gland, and subsequently sex steroids and ...

Andrology, EarlyView.Abstract Background Myocyte enhancer factor 2 transcription factors regulate essential transcriptional programs in various cell types. The activity of myocyte enhancer factor 2 factors is modulated through interactions with cofactors, chromatin remodelers, and other regulatory proteins, which are dependent on cell context and physiological state.
