Insulin-Like Growth Factor II (IGF-II) Is More Potent Than IGF-I in Stimulating Cortisol Secretion from Cultured Bovine Adrenocortical Cells: Interaction with the IGF-I Receptor and IGF-Binding Proteins [PDF]
, 1995 Although the stimulating effect of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) on adrenal steroidogenesis has been well established, the role of IGF-II in the adult adrenal gland remains unknown.

LPS-Induced Systemic Inflammation Caused mPOA-FSH/LH Disturbance and Impaired Testicular Function
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022 Male reproductive function is key to the continuation of species and is under sophisticated regulation, challenged by various stressors including inflammation. In the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) intraperitoneal injection-induced acute systemic inflammation,

Studies on Steroidogenesis in the Oocyte
Folia Endocrinologica Japonica, 1982 The steroid hormone has an important role in the early stages of reproduction. There has been abundant histochemical evidence that oocytes contain steroid hormones and are able to synthesize these hormones. But there have been few methods of analyzing one oocyte biochemically because it is too small and light.

Steroidogenesis and its control in rat corpus luteum [PDF]
, 1978 The rat corpus luteum produces progesterone which is essential for the maintenance of pregnancy. This steroidogenesis is influenced and maintained by 'the pituitary trophic hormone luteinising hormone.

Melatonin Regulates the Synthesis of Steroid Hormones on Male Reproduction: A Review
Molecules, 2018 Melatonin is a ubiquitous molecule and exhibits different effects in long-day and short-day breeding animals. Testosterone, the main resource of androgens in the testis, is produced by Leydig cells but regulated mainly by cytokine secreted by Sertoli ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A paternal glucocorticoid–sperm Gnas‐ICR axis is linked to ovarian endocrine programming in female offspring. Paternal preconception caffeine exposure elevates corticosterone, promotes sperm Gnas‐ICR hypermethylation, and is associated with ovarian Gnas upregulation, cAMP/PKA/CREB–StAR activation, enhanced estradiol synthesis, and PPP‐like phenotypes ...
