Rapid determination of natural steroidal hormones in saliva for the clinical diagnoses - 0 views

  •  
    recent study proves the scientific validity of sex hormone evaluation via saliva.  Most labs today use ELIZA.  The new future will be mass spectroscopy.

Molecular Control of Immune/Inflammatory Responses: Interactions Between Nucl... - 0 views

  •  
    Benefits of progesterone, are in part, due to its function on the immune system.  Progesterone shown to decrease T cell activity, macrophage activity and NK cell activity.  Aside, NK cell activity has been found to be increased in those with recurrent first trimester miscarriages and progesterone defects.  So, low progesterone allows for a rise in NK cell activity and inflammation that is detrimental to a developing pregnancy.  If that is the case in pregnancy, what about the rest of the body?

    good discussion on progesterone receptors, coactivators, corepressors and their impact on breast cancer.  The question is, do these findings have applications to non-disease.

    In women with PCOS, inflammation DIRECTLY stimulates androgen production from the ovaries.  Inflammation is the driving force behind the high androgen levels in women with PCOS.

    progesterone receptor status varies through a woman's menstrual cycle. PR-A dominates throughout, but the PR-A to PR-B ratio declines up to ovulation.

Sex Steroid Hormone Levels and Body Composition in Men - 0 views

    The results of this study: body composition i.e. fat, effects hormone levels, rather then hormone effecting body composition.

Androgen insufficiency in women: diagnostic and therapeutic implications - 0 views

  • SHBG has a differing binding affinity for sex steroids in the following order; DHT > testosterone > androstenedione > estradiol > estrone
  • SHBG also weakly binds DHEA, but not DHEAS
  •  
    Good discuss of androgen deficiency in women.  Also, good discussion of SHBG.

    High aromatase activity in men, as a result of abdominal fat associated with increased estrogen production and lowered Testosterone.  The result is increased CVD.  It's a man boob nation.

Endocrinology of the Aging Male - 0 views

  • All steps beyond the formation of pregnenolone take place in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum
  • Cytochrome P450 enzyme, CYP11A is located on the inner mitochondrial membrane and catalyses the rate limiting step of pregnenolone synthesis
  • Estrogen and related steroids, thyroid hormone and insulin increase SHBG levels.

  • SHBG decreases in response to androgens, and in the presence of hypothyroidism, and insulin resistance.
  • Plasma SHBG levels tend to increase with increasing age
  • The apparent metabolic clearance rate of testosterone is decreased in elderly as compared to younger men
  • Testosterone circulates predominantly bound to the plasma proteins SHBG and albumin, with high and low affinity respectively
  • Testosterone is secreted in a pulsatile fashion
  • Current clinical guidelines suggest at least two measurements
  • In adult men, there is a well-documented diurnal variation (particularly in younger subjects) in testosterone levels, which are highest in the early morning and progressively decline throughout the day to a nadir in the evening
  • In older men, the diurnal variation is blunted
  • it is standard practice for samples to be obtained between 0800 and 1100 h.
  • Testosterone and DHEA decline, whereas LH, FSH, and SHBG rise
  • DHT remains constant despite the decline of its precursor testosterone
  • Longitudinal studies show an average annual decline of 1–2% total testosterone levels, with decline in free testosterone more rapid because of increases in SHBG with aging
  • Massachusetts Male Aging Study (MMAS) data show DHEA, DHEAS, and Ae declining at 2–3% per year
  • DHT showed no cross-sectional age trend
  • Androstanediol glucuronide (AAG) declined cross-sectionally with age in the MMAS sample, at 0.6% per year
  • The EMAS data show that, consistent with the longitudinal findings of MMAS (Figure 1), the core hormonal pattern with increasing age is suggestive of incipient primary testicular dysfunction with maintained total testosterone and progressively blunted free testosterone associated with higher LH

      This author proves the point in the review of these two studies, that TT may remain constant in aging men, however, FT drops.
  • obesity impairs hypothalamic/pituitary function
  • Androgen deprivation in men with prostate cancer has been associated with increased insulin resistance, worse glycemic control, and a significant increase in risk of incident diabetes
  • Low serum testosterone is associated with the development of metabolic syndrome 116, 117 and type 2 diabetes. 118 SHBG has been inversely correlated with type 2 diabetes
  • Improvement in insulin sensitivity with testosterone treatment has been reported in healthy 121 and diabetic 122 adult men
  • In studies conducted in men with central adiposity, testosterone has been shown to inhibit lipoprotein lipase activity in abdominal adipose tissue leading to decreased triglyceride uptake in central fat depots. 123

Steroid Analysis in Saliva: An overview - 0 views

  •  
    No test is perfect. This study analyzes problems with saliva hormone testing.  The authors of this study found saliva testing optimal for cortisol and less so for sex hormones.  Other studies have contradicted this conclusion.

    Only abstract available here.  Supra-physiologic Testosterone therapy needs to be included in potential causes of polycythemia and stroke in men.  Remember the 25-50-21 rule in that 25% of men on Testosterone therapy are never checked prior to initiation of Testosterone and 50% are not followed after initiation of Testosterone therapy.

    elevated Testosterone found to play role in post menopause breast cancer.  No correlation with elevated Testosterone was found in pre menopause--in fact, low estrogen/low Testosterone and elevated prolactin was found in pre menopausal breast cancer patients.
