Hormones and sexual behaviour.
Despite new technological advances and improved assay methods, the relationship between hormones and human sexual behavior is still poorly understood. Sex drive and responsiveness, gender identification, and sexual preference are all influenced by hormones. Endocrine studies of impotent men have produced conflicting results. Exogenous androgens seem to produce some results with impotent men....

full textSexual Hormones in Achlya
The sexual reproductive process of Achlya ambisexualis, a heterothallic form belonging to a well known and widely distributed genus of saprophytic aquatic fungi, is initiated and coordinated by means of specific substances (Raper, 1939, a). Four of these substances have been demonstrated (Raper, 1939, b, 1940) in the r&es of initiators and coordinators of the various stages in the sexual proces...
full textSexual hormones in human skin.
The skin locally synthesizes significant amounts of sexual hormones with intracrine or paracrine actions. The local level of each sexual steroid depends upon the expression of each of the androgen- and estrogen-synthesizing enzymes in each cell type, with sebaceous glands and sweat glands being the major contributors. Sebocytes express very little of the key enzyme, cytochrome P450c17, necessar...
full textIntrauterine Sexual Differentiation: Biosyntesis and action of Sexual Steroid Hormones
The objective of this review was to describe sexual differentiation events in mammals, relating them to biosynthesis of sexual steroid hormones and their mechanisms of action. Cholesterol is the precursor of sexual steroid hormone biosynthesis via action of several enzymes converting these hormones. Progestagens hormones serve as substrate for the production of androgens, which in turn serve as...
full textMinireview: Hormones and human sexual orientation.
Many people believe that sexual orientation (homosexuality vs. heterosexuality) is determined by education and social constraints. There are, however, a large number of studies indicating that prenatal factors have an important influence on this critical feature of human sexuality.
