Sex Hormones and Their Receptors Regulate Liver Energy Homeostasis
The liver is one of the most essential organs involved in the regulation of energy homeostasis. Hepatic steatosis, a major manifestation of metabolic syndrome, is associated with imbalance between lipid formation and breakdown, glucose production and catabolism, and cholesterol synthesis and secretion. Epidemiological studies show sex difference in the prevalence in fatty liver disease and sugg...
متن کاملComplexities of androgen receptor signalling in breast cancer.
While the clinical benefit of androgen-based therapeutics in breast cancer has been known since the 1940s, we have only recently begun to fully understand the mechanisms of androgen action in breast cancer. Androgen signalling pathways can have either beneficial or deleterious effects in breast cancer depending on the breast cancer subtype and intracellular context. This review discusses our cu...
متن کاملAndrogen metabolism in hirsute and normal females
Despite the small size of the volume, it contains a wealth of comprehensive detail on all aspects of vessel wall interaction relevant to thrombosis. There is an excellent chapter on the naturally occurring circulating anticoagulants and a good update of advances in clinical fibrinolysis with particular attention paid to the therapeutic aspects of coronary thrombolysis. One of the most interesti...
متن کاملInterrelationship between Androgen Levels, Ageing, and Cognitive Functions
As men get older, there is a decline in functioning of many biological systems; the endocrine systems share such changes in hormone levels. Ageing in men is accompanied by progressive, but individually variable decline in serum testosterone production in healthy men especially in men over 60 years of age. Androgens determine the differentiation of male internal and external genitalia as well as...
متن کاملHigh dose androgen therapy in male pseudohermaphroditism due to 5 alpha-reductase deficiency and disorders of the androgen receptor.
We describe the clinical and biochemical features of six men with male pseudohermaphroditism due to androgen resistance. Each of the subjects had male-gender behavior but incomplete virilization. The underlying defects in androgen metabolism were defined by studies of the 5 alpha-reductase enzyme and the androgen receptor in fibroblasts cultured from biopsies of genital skin. Four of the six ha...
