Cryo‐EM structure of orphan G protein‐coupled receptor GPR21
GPR21 belongs to class A orphan G protein‐coupled receptor (GPCR). The endogenous ligands for human GPR21 remain unidentified. GPR21 expression is associated with developing type 2 diabetes (T2DM), a multifactorial metabolic disease caused by pancreatic ...

Rapid bioconcentration of steroids in the plasma of three-spined stickleback Gasterosteus aculeatus exposed to waterborne testosterone and 17β-oestradiol [PDF]
The relationship over time between the concentrations of two steroids, singly and in combination, in a static exposure system and in the blood of three-spined stickleback Gasterosteus aculeatus, held within the exposure system was investigated. Groups of

Clustering psychopathology in male anabolic–androgenic steroid users and nonusing weightlifters
Introduction Prior research has demonstrated that personality disorders and clinical psychiatric syndromes are common among users of anabolic–androgenic steroids (AAS). However, the prevalence, expression, and severity of psychopathology differ among AAS

3D model of amphioxus steroid receptor complexed with estradiol [PDF]
The origins of signaling by vertebrate steroids are not fully understood. An important advance was the report that an estrogen-binding steroid receptor [SR] is present in amphioxus, a basal chordate with a similar body plan as vertebrates.
