androgen,androgenic hormone- male sex hormone that is produced in the testes and responsible for typical male sexual characteristics estrogen,oestrogen- a general term for female steroid sex hormones that are secreted by the ovary and responsible for typical female sexual characteristics ...
Because they are responsible for male sex characteristics, androgens are referred to as the male sex hormones. Perhaps the most well-studied androgen is testosterone. Likewise, estrogens and progestogens are aptly termed the female sex hormones. Sex hormones are primarily synthesized in the gonads. ...
P < 0.05 comparing male and female characteristics. b Variables were measured during MESA 5 examination; all other variables reflect MESA 1 baseline values. Baseline endogenous sex hormone levels and CMR T1 indices were stratified by sex and age groups (44-54, 55-64, and ≥65 years) and sum...
What are the glands of the male and female reproductive systems that secrete hormones? What are the names of the hormones they secrete? (Specify which is male and which is female.) GnRH: a. What are the hormones of the anterior pituitary that are involved...
These changes are comparable to those caused by the female sex hormone. The fact that both the female and the male hormones affect the genital tract of the female similarly is, I think, in accord with the results of recent biochemical work3,4. It is interesting to note that the ...
It has recently been reported that injection of male sex hormone simultaneously with estrin into normal female rats partially suppressed the characteristic histologic reaction of the anterior pituitary to estrin. 1 2 The degree of weight increase in the pituitary and the degree of degranulation of the...
CYP4PC1 in the German cockroach, Blattella germanica, controls the rate-limiting step in producing female-specific contact sex pheromone (CSP) that stimulates male courtship. As revealed by behavioural, biochemical, molecular, genetic and bioinformatic approaches, in sexually mature females, CYP4PC1 ...
Seasonal changes of brain GnRH-I, -II, and -III during the final reproductive period in adult male and female sea lamprey Sea lampreys are anadromous and semelparous, i.e., they spawn only once in their lifetime, after which they die. Sexual maturation is thus a synchronized p... SA ...
Interactive effects of growth hormone and oestrogen on vascular responses in hypophysectomised female rats Growth hormone (GH) and oestrogen (E(2)) are associated with beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system and it is therefore of great interest to study... G Helena,T Anna Wickman,B ...
