Sex steroids and schizophrenia
Reviews in Endocrine and Metabolic Disorders, 2011The peak in incidence for schizophrenia is during late adolescence for both sexes, but within this time frame the peak is both earlier and steeper for males. Additionally, women have a second peak in incidence following menopause. Two meta-analyses have reported that men have an overall ∼40% greater chance of developing schizophrenia than do women ...

Sex, Steroids, and Stimulant Sensitivity
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2001Abstract:The current study investigated ovarian modulation of the locomotor response to cocaine in rats. Ovariectomy in females lowered the response to cocaine (10 mg/kg ip), whereas castration did not change that of males. The locomotor responses of prepubertal males and females to cocaine were similar.

Sex Steroids and the Endothelium
Current Medicinal Chemistry, 2000Gonadal steroids clearly influence the course of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in women. This observation has suggested that these hormones have beneficial effects on the physiology of the vascular wall. Increased arterial vascular caliber after estrogen treatment, decreased lipid levels in subjects receiving hormone replacement therapy ...

Sex Steroids Modify Working Memory
Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2000Abstract In the last ten years, numerous mechanisms by which sex steroids modify cortical function have been described. For example, estrogen replacement improves verbal memory in women, and animal studies have shown effects of estrogen on hippocampal synaptogenesis and function. Little is known about sex steroid effects on other aspects

Leptin, Reproduction and Sex Steroids
Pituitary, 2001Leptin is a hormone secreted mainly by the adipose cells with a primary role in the regulation of body weight by establishing a feedback loop between the energy reserves and the hypothalamic centers that control food intake. Recent data suggest that, in addition, leptin interacts with other endocrine systems to provide critical information about the ...

Thyroid function is modulated by genetic and environmental causes as well as other illnesses and medications such as gonadal or sex steroids. The latter class of drugs (sex steroids) modulates thyroid function. Gonadal steroids exert their influence on thyroid function primarily by altering the clearance of thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG).

Selective modulation of sex steroids
Ageing Research Reviews, 2002Recent evidence suggest that Sex Steroid Therapy involving estrogen while beneficial, may have adverse effects as well. Both of the known estrogen receptors, estrogen receptor-alpha (ER-alpha) and estrogen receptor-beta (ER-beta) have been found in reproductive tissues as well as bone, liver, and brain.

Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2003
In seeking to explain why oral estrogen inhibits the GH-IGF-I axis, a recent study has unearthed a new way that steroid hormones can influence growth hormone action. This involves suppressors of cytokine signalling (SOCS), which offer a new level of understanding in signal control and crosstalk.

Sex steroids and insulin resistance
Clinical Science, 2002There is extensive experimental evidence that sex steroids and insulin interact in their actions on tissues. At physiological levels, testosterone and oestradiol are thought to be involved in maintaining normal insulin sensitivity. However, outside this ‘physiological window’ these steroids may promote insulin resistance. Considerable research has been
