Spectrum of metabolic dysfunction in relationship with hyperandrogenemia in obese adole... - 0 views

  • subjects with hyperandrogenemic phenotypes displayed the greatest degree of hyperinsulinemia, β-cell function, and chronic inflammation
  • The rise in serum androgens is accompanied by excess insulin secretion, suggesting that insulin directly stimulates ovarian androgen production
  • The degree of hyperinsulinemia does not seem to be directly correlated with the development of HS
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • higher androgen and insulin levels stimulate hair growth
  • genetic and epigenetic changes may be involved in the pathogenesis of PCOS
  • HA has been identified as an important risk factor for MS and dyslipidemias in premenopausal women and adolescents
  • In our study, HA was found to be an independent risk factor for MS as previously reported by Coviello et al.
  • obesity and HA, and not insulin resistance, are the major determinants of chronic inflammation and risk of atherosclerosis in adolescents with PCOS
  • use of an inflammation marker may help identify high-risk females with PCOS
  • hyperandrogenemic PCOS phenotypes have greatest degree of hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance, and inflammation
  •  
    Elevated androgens are associated increasing insulin, insulin resistance, and inflammation (as measured by CRP).

The implication of neuroactive steroids in Tourette syndrome pathogenesis: a ... - 0 views

  • The typical onset of TS occurs at 6–7 years of age and is characterized by the appearance of simple, recurrent motor tics, followed by the manifestation of phonic tics after several months [12]. In most children, TS symptoms undergo a progressive exacerbation, which reaches its zenith at the beginning of puberty (11–12 years of age), and is then followed by a gradual remission in the majority of patients
  • 30–40% of TS-affected children retain their symptoms in adulthood
  • Multiple neurotransmitters have been implicated in TS, including dopamine (DA), serotonin, norepinephrine, acetylcholine, glutamate and γ-amino-butyric acid (GABA)
  • ...11 more annotations...
  • ample evidence supports the involvement of DAergic dysfunctions in TS
  • male gender is a major risk factor for TS (with a male:female prevalence ratio estimated at ~4:1)
  • the typical age of onset coincides with adrenarche (6–7 years old); symptoms increase in severity until the beginning of puberty (12 years old) and then undergo a spontaneous amelioration, which becomes apparent with the end of puberty (at 18–19 years of age)
  • TS is diagnosed later in females than males
  • female gender may predict greater tic severity in adulthood
  • a number of clinical observations showed that tics in TS patients could be exacerbated by anabolic androgens
  • steroidogenic enzymes and androgen receptors may serve as putative therapeutic targets for this disorder
  • Unlike males, tic severity is typically increased after puberty in females
  • 26% of females were found to experience exacerbation of tics in the estrogenic phase of the menstrual cycle, and this phenomenon was found to be correlated with increased tic severity at menarche
  • biochemical hallmark of adrenarche is the acquisition of 17,20 lyase activity by cytochrome P450 C17 (CYP17A1)
  • increased synthesis of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and androstenedione, which leads to the growth of axillary and pubic hair as well as enhancement in the oiliness of the skin
  •  
    interesting read on hormones and tourette's.. Proposed that 5 alpha reductase activity is involved in worsening of tics.  This makes sense as Testosterone in men with low T is known to increase dopamine and dopaminergic dysfunction is known to play a role in tourette's;  the clinical presentation of girls vs boys is very different.  The authors of this article propose that 5 alpha reductase activity controls a back door method where by progesterone is converted to androgens.

Cancers | Free Full-Text | A Second WNT for Old Drugs: Drug Repositioning against WNT-D... - 0 views

  • To date nearly half of known human tumors show a dysregulation of the WNT signaling pathway
  • It should be also noted that the WNT pathway is not exclusively employed during development or overactivated in cancer. In adults many healthy tissues rely on it for renewal and homeostasis maintenance, most notably the intestine, haematopoietic system, hair, bones and skin. Therefore one might expect adverse reactions in all these organ systems, which has indeed been observed for many WNT-targeting compounds upon attempts to push them into the clinics
  • The intestine seems to be the most vulnerable in this regard

  • Ivermectin inhibits proliferation of human colon cancer and lung cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo
  • The anti-proliferative action, affecting both the bulk tumor cells and CSCs, was linked in this study to inhibition of WNT signaling
  • the anti-WNT IC50 of ivermectin is 5–10 times (~1–2 µM vs. 10 µM) lower than that of its toxic effect against chloride channels
  • oral bioavailability of the drug, as for other antiparasitic drugs discussed in this section, is very low
  • Toxicity studies in vivo have also demonstrated a wide therapeutic index for ivermectin
  • Its anti-proliferative activity has been demonstrated in a wide array of cancer cell lines representative of WNT-dependent cancers: non-small lung carcinoma [96], multiple myeloma [97], hepatoma [98], adrenocortical carcinoma [99], ovarian cancer [100] and glioblastoma
  • Niclosamide inhibits the canonical WNT pathway
  • In addition to inhibiting the canonical WNT pathway, niclosamide may mediate its anticancer activities through several other signaling pathways such as NOTCH [107], MTOR [108], NF-κB [97] and STAT3 [96]
  •  
    review article highlights older medications that have anti-Wnt pathway effects in cancer.  Roughly, 50% of cancer involve upregulated Wnt pathway activity. Other drugs of note: metformin
