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...
متن کاملResponse: Cellular Uptake of Sex Steroid Hormones
of the 3H-label in their experiments is associated with the cells is difficult to interpret. Although some of the experiments by Hammes et al. are consistent with their “bound steroid” hypothesis (see, for example, Figure 2A), others are not (for example, see Figures 2B and 2C). At a concentration of 1 nM DHT plus 1 nM SHBG, 50% of the steroid exists in the free form. One nanomole of DHTSHBG an...
متن کاملAtherosclerosis and sex hormones: current concepts.
CVD (cardiovascular disease) is the leading cause of death for women. Considerable progress has been made in both our understanding of the complexities governing menopausal hormone therapy and our understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying hormone and hormone receptor function. Understanding the interplay of atherosclerosis and sex steroid hormones and their cognate recep...
متن کاملSex Differences in Sex Hormones, Carotid Atherosclerosis, and Stroke.
There are notable sex differences in cardiovascular disease. Although the cumulative incidence of cardiovascular disease in women lags behind that of men by ≈7 to 10 years, strokes comprise a larger proportion of cardiovascular events in women than in men. In terms of clinical impact, aspirin used for primary prevention is associated with a significance reduction in stroke women but not myocard...
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...
