Effects of energy and protein levels on attainment of puberty and steroid hormone production in captive female white-tailed deer
Twenty-four female fawns, weaned at 3.5 months of age, were divided into three groups and randomly assigned to one of four treatments with that group. High energy-high protein (HEHP), high energy-low protein (HELP), low energy-high protein (LEHP), and low energy-low protein (LELP) diets were the …

Differential gene expression analysis reveals functional roles of cryptic orange-pigmented organ in the colorless head kidney of Antarctic icefishes
… the enrichment of two main biological pathways: steroid hormone production and proline biosynthesis. The steroidogenic activities of the orange body indicate it performs functional roles of the interrenal tissue cells – the teleost homolog of the tetrapod adrenal cortex but are normally dispersed …

The effects of adult exposure to genistein on female reproductive outcomes
… health because genistein-induced effects on the steroidogenic pathway can result in adverse, long-term effects on female fertility, cardiovascular, bone, and overall health. The ovary is an estrogen receptor-rich tissue, and plays a key role in the regulation of female fertility. This is because …

Endogenous Neurosteroid Hormone Production and Early Oligodendricyte Development
… grew immensely with the realization that steroid hormone production is not confined to the adrenal and reproductive glands but also occurs in the central nervous system (CNS). Steroids synthesized de novo in the brain and spinal cord are referred to as neurosteroid or neuroactive hormones …

The Role of STAT and the Jak/STAT Pathway In Mediating the Effects of Interleukin-6 on StAR Expression
Cortisol, a hormone produced by a hormone produced by the adrenal gland, is responsible for many regulatory functions in the body. Cortisol release is mediated by adrenocorticotrophic hormone, or ACTH, through the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal or HPA axis. This HPA axis is the major release …

The transgenerational effects of Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate on female reproduction in mice
… The presence of DEHP in tissues vital for reproduction and development suggests that DEHP exposure occurs at various developmental stages; thus, posing as a potential toxicant for several generations. Multiple organs are required to facilitate healthy reproduction. Organs within the …
