Peripheral vs. Central Sex Steroid Hormones in Experimental Parkinson’s Disease
The nigrostriatal dopaminergic (NSDA) pathway degenerates in Parkinson's disease (PD), which occurs with approximately twice the incidence in men than women. Studies of the influence of systemic estrogens in females suggest sex hormones contribute to these differences. In this review we analyze the evidence revealing great complexity in the response of the healthy and injured NSDA system to hor...
متن کاملProtective actions of sex steroid hormones in Alzheimer's disease.
Risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD) is associated with age-related loss of sex steroid hormones in both women and men. In post-menopausal women, the precipitous depletion of estrogens and progestogens is hypothesized to increase susceptibility to AD pathogenesis, a concept largely supported by epidemiological evidence but refuted by some clinical findings. Experimental evidence suggests that estr...

متن کاملThe correlation of anandamide with gonadotrophin and sex steroid hormones during the menstrual cycle
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 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...
