The Impact of Gonadal Hormones on the Expression of Human Neurological Disorders
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The effects of gonadal steroids on neurological well-being and disease constitute a rich and rapidly expanding area of basic and clinical neuroscience. Gonadal hormones exert potent effects on monoaminergic, cholinergic and peptidergic pathways as well as neurosteroidogenesis which, in turn, impact normal brain organization and function. A spectrum of human neurological conditions are influenced by hormonal fluctuations associated with the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, the menopause and use of oral contraceptives. An appreciation of these relationships may facilitate the development of specific hormonal and anti-hormonal therapies for neurological disorders as disparate as catamenial epilepsy and acute intermittent porphyria. © 2015 S.

متن کاملEffects of Crocin on The Pituitary-Gonadal Axis and Hypothalamic Kiss-1 Gene Expression in Female Wistar Rats
Background: Saffron (Crocus sativus L.) is traditionally used as a spice for coloring and flavoring in cooking in some countries. One of the main component of saffron is Crocin. Recent researches have shown Crocin has various pharmacological effects. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of Crocin on the Pituitary-Gonadal Axis and Kiss-1 gene expression in hypothalamus and also ovarian...
متن کاملEffects of sex steroid hormones on neuromedin S and neuromedin U2 receptor expression following experimental traumatic brain injury
Objective(s): Neuroprotective effects of female gonadal steroids are mediated through several pathways involving multiple peptides and receptors after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Two of these peptides are including the regulatory peptides neuromedin U (NMU) and neuromedin S (NMS), and their common receptor neuromedin U2 receptor (NMUR2). This study investigates the effects of physiological do...
متن کاملEffects of Cypermethrin on Sexual Behaviour and Plasma Concentrations of Pituitary-Gonadal Hormones
Background Pyrethroids are commonly used as insecticides for both household and agricultural applications, and have recently been linked to endocrine disruption. Cypermethrin is a type П pyrethroid which is used widely throughout the world. The present study was aimed to investigate the effects of cypermethrin on the sexual behaviour and plasma level of pituitary-gonadal hormones of adult male ...
