Alpha-Estradiol (17 alpha-Estradiol) is a 5α-reductase inhibitor, and inhibits testosterone metabolism catalyzed by 5 alpha-reductase. Alpha-Estradiol (17 Alpha-estradiol, 10 μM) attenuates LPS-induced inflammatory markers in both C57BL/6J male and female mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) cells,...
Additionally, it induced the antioxidant parameters (SOD, CAT, and GPx) in a dose dependent manner. In fact, the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of 6-gingerol can represent a useful treatment to improve the PCOS via the reduction of COX-2, LH, FSH, oestrogen, and testosterone ...
The progestin component of the combined hormonal contraceptive is most commonly a 19-nortestosterone progestin. These progestins more closely resemble testosterone than their alternative, the 21-carbon acetoxyprogesterone derivative. Medroxyprogesterone acetate and megestrol acetate are 21-carbon progestins. ...
Combined oral contraceptives may compound the effects of well-known risk factors, such as hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemias, age and obesity. In particular, some progestogens are known to decrease HDL cholesterol and cause glucose intolerance, while estrogens may create a state of hyperinsulinis...
Levonorgestrel has high binding affinity for SHBG that is 60% of that of testosterone. Ethinyl estradiol is about 97% bound to plasma albumin. Ethinyl estradiol does not bind to SHBG, but will induce SHBG synthesis. Metabolism Levonorgestrel: The most important metabolic pathway occurs in the ...
2. Estradiol is not only produced in the gonads: in both sexes, precursor hormones, specifically testosterone, are converted by aromatization to estradiol. In particular, fat cells are active to convert precursors to estradiol, and will continue to do so even after menopause. Estradiol is also ...
The most potent naturally occurring estrogen in mammals. It is synthesized primarily in the ovary, and also in the testis, adrenal gland and placenta, and to a limited extent by peripheral tissues (e.g., liver, fat, and skeletal muscle) from androstenedione and testosterone. It is responsible...

Desogestrel, in combination with ethinyl estradiol, does not counteract the estrogen-induced increase in SHBG, resulting in lower serum levels of free testosterone (96-99). Metabolism Desogestrel: Desogestrel is rapidly and completely metabolized by hydroxylation in the intestinal mucosa and on first ...
