Selected biochemical actions of ovarian hormones.
This review is concerned with a general discussion of the actions of ovarian hormones, including relaxin, a polypeptide hormone, and estrogens and progestogens, which are two types of steroid hormones. Particular emphasis is placed on describing the sites of action and target organ responses induced by the two steroid hormones. A detailed description of estrogen activity in reproductive tract t...
متن کاملBiological Actions of Sex Hormones
313 personal effort as well as personal desire must be active if an effective program is to develop. A case is made to the end that effort be directed to improve health during the latter half of the lifespan of the individual and not to continue focusing all attention on childhood and adolescence. The author urges us to reconsider policy in connection with a constructive medical program, to rec...
متن کاملCellular and biochemical actions of adrenal glucocorticoid hormones on rat thymic lymphocytes.
The molecular, biochemical, and cellular effects of adrenal glucocorticoid hormones on thymic lymphocytes are reviewed, with emphasis on their relationship to the growth suppressive and lethal actions that occur in lymphoid tissues when glucocorticoids are administered to the whole animal. The data support the hypothesis that the hormonal inhibition of growth and development is a consequence of...
متن کاملNon-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 کاملThyroid: biological actions of 'nonclassical' thyroid hormones.
Thyroid hormones (THs) are produced by the thyroid gland and converted in peripheral organs by deiodinases. THs regulate cell functions through two distinct mechanisms: genomic (nuclear) and nongenomic (non-nuclear). Many TH effects are mediated by the genomic pathway--a mechanism that requires TH activation of nuclear thyroid hormone receptors. The overall nongenomic processes, emerging as imp...
