Non-genomic actions of sex steroid hormones.
Steroid hormone receptors have been traditionally considered to act via the regulation of transcriptional processes, involving nuclear translocation and binding to specific response elements, and ultimately leading to regulation of gene expression. However, novel non-transcriptional mechanisms of signal transduction through steroid hormone receptors have been identified. These so-called 'non-ge...
متن کاملThe Non-Genomic Actions of Vitamin D
Since its discovery in 1920, a great deal of effort has gone into investigating the physiological actions of vitamin D and the impact its deficiency has on human health. Despite this intense interest, there is still disagreement on what constitutes the lower boundary of adequacy and on the Recommended Dietary Allowance. There has also been a major push to elucidate the biochemistry of vitamin D...
متن کاملNon-genomic progesterone actions in female reproduction.
BACKGROUND The steroid hormone progesterone is indispensable for mammalian procreation by controlling key female reproductive events that range from ovulation to implantation, maintenance of pregnancy and breast development. In addition to activating the progesterone receptors (PRs)-B and -A, members of the superfamily of ligand-dependent transcription factors, progesterone also elicits a varie...
متن کاملLigand Modulated Antagonism of PPARγ by Genomic and Non-Genomic Actions of PPARδ
BACKGROUND Members of the Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptor, PPAR, subfamily of nuclear receptors display complex opposing and overlapping functions and a wide range of pharmacological and molecular genetic tools have been used to dissect their specific functions. Non-agonist bound PPARdelta has been shown to repress PPAR Response Element, PPRE, signalling and several lines of evidence...
متن کاملGenomic and Non-genomic Aldosterone
Steroid hormones are lipophilic hormones based on the cholesterol molecule. Steroid hormones include the sex hormones estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone; glucocorticoids mainly cortisol in human; and mineralocorticoids. The main mammalian mineralocorticoid is aldosterone. Steroid and steroid-like hormones such as vitamin D and thyroid hormone are lipophilic and exert their predominant act...
