Leptin and sex hormones in psoriasis and correlation with disease severity
Background: Leptin, a 16-KDa peptide hormone secreted from theadipose tissue, plays an important role in the regulation of energyintake and expenditure and body weight regulation; furthermore,it has a regulatory function on the reproductive system. The aimof this study was to assess the relationship between serum leptinlevels and sex hormones in psoriatic patients and control groupand to determ...
متن کاملOf mice, men, and hormones.
Incidence of cardiovascular disease is consistently greater in men than in women during the first five decades of life.1 Because this gender disparity begins early in life, it is likely that a combination of genetic, environmental (possibly intrauterine) factors, and actions of sex-specific hormones contribute to the disease process (see Nagel and vom Saal2). However, most research has focused ...

Early and regular blood transfusion therapy in patients with homozygous beta-thalassemia decreases the complications of severe anemia and prolongs survival. In the long term, however, the beneficial effects of transfusions are limited by the organ damage resulting from iron overload. Endocrine complications in patients with thalassemia major in developing countries may be frequent due t o ...

Objective(s): The purpose of this study was to investigate the change in plasma anandamide (AEA) levels throughout the normal menstrual cycle, and to analyze the relationship among AEA, sex steroids and gonadotrophins. Materials and Methods: The patients were fertile women with normal menstrual cycle, proposed to get in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment due to oviduct obstruction or male infe...
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...
