Immunolocalization of steroidogenic enzymes in the vaginal mucous of Galea spixii during the estrous cycle. [PDF]
BackgroundThe synthesis of sex steroids is controlled by several enzymes such as17α-hydroxylase cytochrome P450 (P450c17) catalyzing androgen synthesis and aromatase cytochrome P450 (P450arom) catalyzing estrogen synthesis, both of which must complex ...

We conducted a comprehensive investigation of the metabolic profiles of infiltrating T cells in NSCLC tumors and found metabolic heterogeneity in three T‐cell subtypes, which are associated with the prognosis of ICB therapy. We defined these metabolic clusters as response‐dependent (R) clusters and non‐response‐dependent (NR) clusters, and elucidated ...

Major rooibos flavonoids—dihydrochalcones, aspalathin and nothofagin, flavones—orientin and vitexin, and a flavonol, rutin, were investigated to determine their influence on the activity of adrenal steroidogenic enzymes, 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase ...

Management issues of congenital adrenal hyperplasia during the transition from pediatric to adult care [PDF]
Steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency is the most prevalent form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), accounting for approximately 95% of cases. With the advent of newborn screening and hormone replacement therapy, most children with CAH survive into ...

Intermolecular Enzymatic Encoding of Nucleic Acid, Steroid Complexes: A New Theory on the Chemical Origin of Life Based on Evidence of Structural Symmetry [PDF]
The origin of life is one of the greatest mysteries. The mechanism for the synthesis of DNA is synonymous with the chemical origin of life, and theories have been developed along many lines of reasoning, but resolving all requirements remains a challenge, such as defining an objective path to produce sequences of encoded nucleotides paired as adenine ...

Steroid 21-hydroxylase expression and activity in human lymphocytes
Steroid 21-hydroxylase encoded by CYP21 is expressed in adrenal cortex. Mutations in CYP21 cause potentially lethal congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). Earlier observations suggested alternative sources of 21-hydroxylase activity, although its genetic source remains unclear.

Steroid 21-Hydroxylase Mutations and 21-Hydroxylase Messenger Ribonucleic Acid Expression in Human Adrenocortical Tumors1 [PDF]
Twenty-one hydroxylase (P450c21) is a key enzyme essential for normal zona glomerulosa and fasciculata function. Recently, 21-hydroxylase deficiency has been implicated in the pathogenesis of adrenocortical tumors. Therefore, we investigated the mutational spectrum of the CYP21B gene and the messenger RNA expression of P450c21 in six aldosterone ...

Cardiovascular abnormalities and impaired exercise performance in adolescents with congenital adrenal hyperplasia [PDF]
Context: Patients with classic Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) are treated with lifelong glucocorticoids (GCS). Cardiovascular (CV) and metabolic effects of such therapy in adolescents have never been quantified.

Dissecting Microscopic Colitis Immunopathophysiology: Insights From Basic Research
ABSTRACT Microscopic colitis is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) comprising two clinically undiscernible entities: collagenous colitis and lymphocytic colitis. Collagenous colitis associates with HLA genes and displays a Th1/Tc1–Th17/Tc17 profile with pericryptal myofibroblast activity, water malabsorption and secondary fluid loss due to altered ...
