Naloxone inhibits and morphine potentiates. The adrenal steroidogenic response to ACTH [PDF]
The adrenal actions were stereospecific since neither the positve stereoisomer of morphine, nor that of naloxone, had any effect on the adrenal response to exogenous adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH).

Kisspeptin as a test of hypothalamic dysfunction in pubertal and reproductive disorders
Andrology, Volume 14, Issue 4, Page 1002-1016, May 2026.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 ...

Metformin reverses development of pulmonary hypertension via aromatase inhibition [PDF]
, 2016 Females are more susceptible to pulmonary arterial hypertension than males, although the reasons remain unclear. The hypoglycemic drug, metformin, is reported to have multiple actions, including the inhibition of aromatase and stimulation of AMP ...

Chemical Suppression of Steroidogenesis
Environmental Health Perspectives, 1981 A large number of chemicals are known to interfere with steroidogenesis in the adrenal cortex and other tissues. Many xenobiotics inhibit steroid hormone production as a result of interactions with cytochrome P-450-containing hydroxylases in adrenal mitochondria or microsomes.

Luteinizing hormone receptor knockout mouse: What has it taught us?
Andrology, Volume 14, Issue 4, Page 1017-1028, May 2026.Abstract Luteinizing hormone (LH), along with its agonist choriongonadotropin (hCG) in humans, is the key hormone responsible for the tropic regulation of the gonadal function. LH and hCG act through their cognate receptor, the luteinizing hormone/choriongonadotropin receptor (LHCGR; more appropriately LHR in rodents lacking CG), located in the testis ...

Pharmacogenetics of follicle‐stimulating hormone action in the male
Andrology, Volume 14, Issue 4, Page 1064-1072, May 2026.Abstract Male factor infertility (MFI) is involved in half of the cases of couple infertility. The follicle‐stimulating hormone (FSH) therapy is considered efficient to improve semen parameters and pregnancy rate in patients with idiopathic MFI, following the lesson learned from hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.
