Steroid hormones, including progestagens, estrogens, androgens, corticosteroids, and their precursor cholesterol, perform essential functions in the successful establishment and maintenance of pregnancy and normal fetal development. As the core endocrine organ at the prenatal stage, the human placenta is ...
In singleton pregnancies, from early to approximately 20 weeks of gestation, peripheral vascular resistance decreases owing to the vasodila- tory effects of hormones such as progesterone and relaxin, thereby resulting in a concomitant decrease in blood pressure. Subsequently, blood pressure exhibits a ...
One key theory is the substantial role of sex hormones, particularly evident in the impact of hormonal fluctuations during menopause and pregnancy on RA severity [5]. While the incidence in women is thrice that of men, pre-menopause, post-menopause and regional parity in incidence are observed....
The period of a woman’s cycle can be identified by different methods, including urine ovulation tests (dipstick devices that can detect changes in hormones released into the urine, signifying when ovulation will occur), fertility awareness-based methods (FABM) (including calendar tracking, monitorin...
3. SHBG levels in females and fertility Sex Hormone Binding Globulin, SHBG, is responsible for safely transporting sex hormones, mainly testosterone, throughout the bloodstream and regulating testosterone levels within the body. Since SHBG plays a big role in maintaining proper hormone function, our ...
Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men globally and is associated with a significant mortality rate. Development of prostate cancer is often driven by male sex hormones called androgens, including testosterone. In patients with mCRPC, their prostate cancer grows and spreads to other...
by progesterone signaling. Obesity is a risk factor for PCOS, although many nonobese women develop PCOS and many obese women do not exhibit PCOS. PCOS is also more complex than simply a reduction in progesterone; progesterone levels are not always reduced and the levels of other hormones can ...

A second line should work towards describing the mechanisms by which sexual hormones, especially estrogens, bring on the changes detected in structural and behavioral reorganization. Given the hormonal environment existing during the pregnancy and postpartum period and the interactive nature of these molec...
