often resulting in functional deficits; recent evidence suggests that estrogen replacement can decrease the risk of neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease, and alleviate some of the cognitive deficits in afflicted women ( Paganin-Hill and Henderson 1994; Henderson et al. 1994; Tang...
Males produce endogenous estrogen from testosterone via the enzyme aromatase. Previous studies have suggested a role for endogenous estrogens in cardiovascular function in men. We examined the effects of endogenous estrogen suppression via aromatase inhibition on endothelial function, systemic arterial complian...

Gonads produce the hormones testosterone (in the testicles) and estrogen (in the ovaries) that are responsible for the development of sexual characteristics. What is the other name of gonads? The name of the female gonads is the ovaires; on the other hand, the male gonads are referred to ...

Sex steroids, such as estrogens and androgens, are important regulators of the humoral immune response. Studies in female mice have demonstrated that alteration of circulating estrogen concentration regulates antibody-mediated immunity. As males have normally little endogenous estrogen, we hypothesized that...
6 Normally premenopausal women have a lower prevalence of heart and kidney disease relative to age-matched men. Estrogen participates in the modulation of insulin sensitivity, energy balance, and body composition as estrogen regulates the activity and expression of the key enzymes involved in glucose ...
Also, some estrogen in males results from conversion of testosterone to estrogens in tissues other than the testis. For example, many of the effects of testosterone on bone result from the local conversion of testosterone to estradiol. Thus, just as human females produce both “male” and “...
Therefore, the enhancement of Th2 response by estrogen in females is counteracted by the ablation of IL-17 positive supporting activity; therefore we see a drastic decrease in Th2 and B cell responses. The results point to the role IL-17 in regulating B cell response and function, but ...
