background mean platelet volume (mpv) is generally accepted as a new marker of cardiovascular disease risk in several studies. objectives this study aimed to determine the association of mpv with androgen hormones and insulin resistance (ir) in nonobese patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos). patients and methods a total of 136 patients with newly diagnosed reproductive-age pcos (regard...

The adrenal cortex plays a key role in the regulation of metabolism, salt and water homeostasis sex differentiation by synthesizing glucocorticoid, mineralocorticoid androgen hormones. Evidence exists that angiotensin II regulates adrenocortical function it has been contended peptides non-canonical branch renin system (RAS) might also modulate steroidogenesis adrenals. Thus, aim this review is ...

Androgen hormones serve a variety of roles, including determining and maintaining sexual traits. The effects Anabolic Steroids (AAS) like oxandrolone on body composition muscle mass development are intriguing. We provide case 38-year-old woman who was treated with for multiple fractures current right ischiotibial injury, indicating that androgen steroid medication may aid in the recovery bone t...

Background: The ratio of the second finger length to fourth (2D:4D ratio) is considered be negatively correlated with prenatal androgen exposure (PAE) and positively estrogen. Coincidentally, various brain regions are sensitive PAE, their functions in adults may influenced by actions sex hormones.

PCOS is called as Poly cystic ovarian syndrome. Ovarian Syndrome an issue related to imbalance in hormones. It be most commonly known for endocrine and metabolic disorder. High levels of androgen seen this condition. Most common gynecological condition affecting both developing developed countries. Homoeopathy plays important role providing effective treatment PCOS.

T HE PREDOMINANT emphasis in the study of hormones in post-menopausal women has been accorded to estrogens and progestins, with lesser attention being given to androgens and the issue of androgen replacement. This is perhaps because androgens are traditionally thought of as male hormones, and the impact of excessive androgen activity in women, for example as in hirsutism, receives more attentio...

Steroid hormones affect the growth of many tumor cells both in vivo and in vitro. Growth of cells in vitro can be studied as either anchorage dependent (monolayer culture) or anchorage independent (suspension culture), and in each case, steroid hormones can alter log-phase proliferation rate, saturation density, or cell morphology. Results presented here demonstrate that different steroid hormo...

The prognostic significance of neuroendocrine differentiation in prostatic malignancy is controversial, but the results of recent studies with markers such as chromogranin A and neurone-specific enolase suggest that neuroendocrine differentiation, as reflected by increased tissue expression or blood concentrations of these neuroendocrine secretory products, is associated with a poor prognosis, ...

Reproductive behaviors are tightly regulated by sex steroid hormones. Interference with these hormones or their neural signaling pathways leads to behavioral alterations. We have previously shown that oral exposure of adult male mice di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), an organic environmental endocrine disruptor, altered sexual behavior. In this study, we examined the effects pubertal DEHP and ...
