Blocking of β-adrenergic receptors during the subfertile period inhibits spontaneous ovarian cyst formation in rats
(2012)
As aging proceeds, fertility problems arise, and the success rate of in vitro fertilization declines. During reproductive aging, rat ovaries present spontaneous formation of cysts, followed by a concomitant increase in ...
Arachidonic acid release from rat Leydig cells depends on the presence of luteinizing hormone/human chorionic gonadotrophin receptors
(BioScientifica Ltd., 1997)
In this work, the involvement of arachidonic acid (AA) in the luteinizing hormone and human chorionic gonadotrophin (LH/hCG) action on Leydig cells was studied. Experiments were first designed to evaluate [14C]AA incorporation ...
Thyroid hormone calorigenesis and mitochondrial redox signaling: Upregulation of gene expression
(2007)
Thyroid hormone (TH, T3) is required for the normal function of most tissues, with major effects on O2 consumption and metabolic rate. These are due to transcriptional activation of respiratory genes through the interaction ...
Kupffer cell-dependent signaling in thyroid hormone calorigenesis: Possible applications for liver preconditioning
(2009)
Thyroid hormone (L-3,3′,5-triiodothyronine, T3) is important for the normal function of most tissues, with major actions on O2 consumption and metabolic rate. In the liver, these are due to (i) transcriptional activation ...
Certain large forms of circulating immunoreactive human growth hormone are in fact immunoglobulins
(1990)
To explain frequent discordances between serum GH levels and clinical manifestation of acromegaly, we investigated the possibility that certain immunoglobulins G (IgGs) might be responsible for the displacement of [125I]human ...
Relationship between selected hormonal and metabolic parameters at birth and blood pressure during pre-adolescence.
(2011-12-20)
Objective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between selected hormonal parameters (at birth
and at age 8 years) and blood pressure levels at pre-adolescence in a cohort of intrauterine growth ...
Relationship Between Anti-Mu¨ llerian Hormone (AMH) and Insulin Levels During Different Tanner Stages in Daughters of Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
(Society for Gynecologic Investigation, 2012-02-16)
We have previously described increased serumlevels of anti-Mu¨llerian hormone (AMH) and stimulated insulin in daughters
ofwomenwith polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS), suggesting that these girlsmay have an altered ovarian ...
Androgen-regulated cardiac metabolism in aging men
(Frontiers Media, 2020)
The prevalence of cardiovascular mortality is higher in men than in age-matched premenopausal women. Gender differences are linked to circulating sex-related steroid hormone levels and their cardio-specific actions, which ...
Dehydroepiandrosterone prevents the aggregation of platelets obtained from postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes mellitus through the activation of the PKC/eNOS/NO pathway
(2012)
The steroid hormone dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), suggested to be a cardioprotector, prevents platelet aggregation in healthy humans. This hormone is reduced in postmenopausal women by 60% of its normal value. Platelets ...
Caracterización del metabolismo óseo mineral en pacientes con enfermedad renal crónica en hemodiálisis en el Servicio de Salud Metropolitano Sur, Santiago de Chile
(Sociedad Médica de Santiago, 2015)
Background: Chronic Kidney Disease-Mineral and Bone Disorder (CKD-MBD) is a condition of dialysis patients associated with both morbidity and mortality. Management is based on clinical guidelines with goals that are hard ...
