Biosynthesis of Steroid Sulfates by Human Ovarian Tissue.

Sulfate esters of steroid hormones had been considered to represent end products of steroid metabolism designed for excretion. Sulfation of steroids in vitro had been demonstrated with mammalian liver preparations, and it had been generally assumed that the liver was the major site of production of these compounds in man. Revision of this view became necessary with the demonstration that the st...

Mitochondrial Fusion Is Essential for Steroid Biosynthesis

Although the contribution of mitochondrial dynamics (a balance in fusion/fission events and changes in mitochondria subcellular distribution) to key biological process has been reported, the contribution of changes in mitochondrial fusion to achieve efficient steroid production has never been explored. The mitochondria are central during steroid synthesis and different enzymes are localized bet...

Biosynthesis and metabolism of steroid hormones by human adrenal carcinomas.

Over a 15-year period, our university-based laboratory obtained 125 adrenal tumors, of which 15 (12%) were adrenal cortical carcinomas. Of these, 6 (40% of the carcinomas) occurred in patients with clear clinical manifestations of steroid hormone excess. Adrenal cortical carcinoma cells derived from the surgically resected tumors in 4 of these patients were isolated and established in primary c...

Regulation of steroid hydroxylase gene expression and steroid hormone biosynthesis.

In our test system, the action of glucagon o n steroid oxidation follows a dose-response relationship similar to its actions on diacylglycerol generation and not on cyclic AMP generation [ 171. The fact that it does not act via activation of adenylate cyclase and generation of cyclic AMP was proved by the usc of I-N-a-trinitrophenylhistidine12-homoarginine glucagon (TH)-glucagon, an analogue of...
