Gonadal Hormones and Retinal Disorders: A Review
Aim Gonadal hormones are essential for reproductive function, but can act on neural and other organ systems, and are probably the cause of the large majority of known sex differences in function and disease. The aim of this review is to provide evidence for this hypothesis in relation to eye disorders and to retinopathies in particular. Methods Epidemiological studies and research articles we...
متن کاملNewly proliferated cells in the adult male amygdala are affected by gonadal steroid hormones.
Gonadal steroid hormones play an important role in the proliferation, survival, and activation of neurons. The present study was performed to examine the effects of testosterone and its metabolites on newly proliferated cells in the amygdala of adult male meadow voles (Microtus pennsylvanicus). Treatment with testosterone propionate (TP) in castrated males resulted in plasma testosterone levels...
متن کاملFunctional neuroimaging as a direct probe of the effects of gonadal steroid hormones on the brain
There is considerable evidence from animal studies dial gonadal steroid hormones modulate neuronal activity and affect behavior. In humans, however, the behavioral and cognitive evidence has not been conclusive, and, until recently, there have been few direct neurophysiological data. Functional brain imaging offers unique opportunities to characterize in humans the effects of gonadal steroid ho...
متن کاملCB1 cannabinoid receptors are involved in neuroleptic-induced enhancement of brain neurotensin
Objective(s): Targeting the neuropeptide systems has been shown to be useful for the development of more effective antipsychotic drugs. Neurotensin, an endogenous neuropeptide, appears to be involved in the mechanism of action of antipsychotics. However, the available data provide conflicting results and the mechanism(s) by which antipsychotics affect brain neurotensin neurotransmission have no...
متن کاملSteroid Hormones: Membrane transporters of steroid hormones
The discovery of a plasma membrane ABC protein that exports steroids in yeast highlights the possibility that similar membrane sorting systems in mammalian cells may modulate the access of steroids to their receptors.
