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...
Steroid sex hormones have a significant effect on different organ systems. As far as gingiva are concerned, they can influence the cellular proliferation, differentiation and growth of keratinocytes and fibroblasts. Estrogen is mainly responsible for alterations in blood vessels and progesterone stimulates the production of inflammatory mediators. In addition, some micro-organisms found in the ...
Sex steroid hormones released from the gonads play an important role in mediating social behavior across all vertebrates. Many effects of these gonadal hormones are mediated by nuclear steroid hormone receptors, which are crucial for integration in the brain of external (e.g., social) signals with internal physiological cues to produce an appropriate behavioral output. The African cichlid fish ...
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...
Steroid hormones are lipophilic hormones based on the cholesterol molecule. Steroid hormones include the sex hormones estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone; glucocorticoids mainly cortisol in human; and mineralocorticoids. The main mammalian mineralocorticoid is aldosterone. Steroid and steroid-like hormones such as vitamin D and thyroid hormone are lipophilic and exert their predominant act...
The functional importance of sex steroid hormones (testosterone and estrogens), derived from extragonadal tissues, has recently gained significant appreciation. Circulating dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is peripherally taken up and converted to testosterone by 3beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (HSD) and 17beta-HSD, and testosterone in turn is irreversibly converted to estrogens by aromatase cy...
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), a precursor of sex steroid hormones, is synthesized by cholesterol side-chain cleavage cytochrome P-450 and 17alpha-hydroxylase cytochrome P-450 mainly from cholesterol and converted to testosterone and estrogen by 3beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3beta-HSD), 17beta-HSD, and aromatase cytochrome P-450. Although sex steroid hormones have important effects in the...
Steroid sex hormones play a central role in breast carcinogenesis. Evidence from in vitro and animal studies suggests that phytoestrogens may inhibit the development of mammary tumors through their role in regulating the synthesis, metabolism, and signal transduction of steroid hormones. In a study of 117 case-control pairs of postmenopausal women in Shanghai, we investigated whether the associ...
OBJECTIVE There are several factors, like environmental agents, neurotrophic factors, serotonin and some hormones such as estrogen, affecting neurogenesis and neural differentiation. Regarding to importance of proliferation and regeneration in central nervous system, and a progressive increase in neurodegenerative diseases, cell therapy is an attractive approach in neuroscience. The aim of the ...
Renal functions are regulated by steroid sex hormones, but the exhaustive identification of their receptors along the nephron is still lacking. Here, we have localized all known nuclear or membrane-bound sex hormone receptors and some of their activators along the nephron of male and female mice. Almost all receptors are present in male and female kidney, some of them having very restricted loc...
