Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases - Androgen dynamics and serum PSA in patients tr... - 0 views

  •  
    ADT therapy with abiraterone inhibits androgen production from both testicular and adrenal origins.  This study finds that a decrease in androgen production through ADT did not always equal a decrease in PSA, indicating other mechanisms of prostate cancer profession.

DHEA effects on brain and behavio... [J Steroid Biochem Mol Biol. 2014] - PubMed - NCBI - 0 views

  •  
    Interesting animal study finds that the brain can make sex hormones, DHEA and Testosterone in this article, de novo from cholesterol.  This is one mechanism by which the body can adapt to low T.  This also brings to light the effects that low adrenal output can have on T as well.

Increased Visceral Adiposity and Cortisol to Cortisone Ratio in Adults With Congenital ... - 0 views

  •  
    Increased visceral adiposity results in increased 11beta-HSD that results in increased cortisone to cortisol production preference.  Cortisol production doesn't just come from the adrenals--it is also produced and metabolized in peripheral and visceral fat.

  •  
    Leptin shown to inhibit steroid hormone synthesis in the gonads via inhibition of 17beta-HSD.  This is in addition to other reports of inhibition of 17,20 lyase, adrenal cortisol inhibition, inhibition of CRF, and inhibition of LH/FSH.

Salivary cortisol for assessment of hypothalamic-p... [Neuroimmunomodulation. 2009] - P... - 0 views

  • Sampling for salivary cortisol determination is a sensitive, specific and pain-free procedure and it is therefore very useful for following healthy and sick children before, during and after pharmacological interventions

  •  
    Salivary cortisol determined by enzyme immunoassay is preferable to serum total cortisol for assessment of dynamic hypothalamic--pituitary--adrenal axis activity.

  • CONCLUSION: It appears that ovarian androgen excess in women with PCOS is mainly LH-dependent in Group 1 and insulin-dependent in Group 2. Enhanced adrenal activity may contribute to both hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance in this syndrome, and subclinical hypothyroidism may exist in affected subjects, especially of Group 1.

    PCOS is not a birth control pill deficiency, but a complex hormonal imbalance

Salivary cortisol as a biomarker in stress researc... [Psychoneuroendocrinology. 2009] ... - 0 views

  • psychobiological mechanisms, which trigger the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPAA) can only indirectly be assessed by salivary cortisol measures. The different instances that control HPAA reactivity (hippocampus, hypothalamus, pituitary, adrenals) and their respective modulators, receptors, or binding proteins, may all affect salivary cortisol measures.
  • linear relationship with measures of plasma ACTH and cortisol in blood or urine does not necessarily exist
  •  
    saliva cortisol testing is a better assessment tool for HPA axis function, compared to serum cortisol

Cytokines and steroidogenesis. - PubMed - NCBI - 0 views

  •  
    Inflammatory cytokines appear to inhibit hormone production at the levels of the adrenal glands, testes, and ovaries.  This is in addition to suppression at the level of the hypothalamus and pituitary.  One proposed mechanism is via a reduction of sensitivity of the testes to LH.

  •  
    acupuncture decreases HPA sympathetic drive.  Acupuncture calms the HPA axis and relieves stress.  Granted this is in a rat model.

  •  
    lean women with PCOS found to have reduced 11 beta-HSD1 and increased 5 alpha reductase activity.  This, in part, is associated with the elevated cortisol and androgens in these women.

SALIVARY CORTISOL ASSAYS FOR ASSESSING PITUITARY-ADRENAL RESERVE - PETERS - 2008 - Clin... - 0 views

  • Since salivary cortisol concentrations were shown to reflect the free, biologically active fraction in plasma, salivary assay may, in selected cases, provide results of greater diagnostic significance than plasma total concentrations.
  •  
    salivary cortisol found to be superior to total serum cortisol levels.
