Gonadal Hormones

Hormones produced by the GONADS, including both steroid and peptide hormones. The major steroid hormones include ESTRADIOL and PROGESTERONE from the OVARY, and TESTOSTERONE from the TESTIS. The major peptide hormones include ACTIVINS and INHIBINS.

1.	Pain (Aches) 02/17/2013 - "The results of several studies strongly indicate a bidirectional relationship among gonadal hormones and pain. " 01/01/2013 - "In the study of pain, great attention has been paid to the possible involvement of gonadal hormones, especially in recent years. " 05/01/2011 - "Indeed, available data strongly indicate that more studies on gonadal hormones would certainly enhance the possibility of greatly increasing the knowledge of pain mechanisms and, thus, treatments. " 05/01/2011 - "The clear presence of sex differences in chronic pain and the number of studies showing the power of gonadal hormones to modify pain-induced behavioral responses appear to have convinced clinicians and researchers. " 05/01/2011 - "SUMMARY The role of gonadal hormones has slowly gathered the right attention in the study of chronic pain mechanisms. "
2.	Epilepsy (Aura) 12/01/2014 - "These and other issues have made it difficult to translate our increasing knowledge about the effects of gonadal hormones on the brain to improved treatment for men and women with epilepsy." 10/01/2011 - "In this study the effects of gonadal hormones on photoparoxysmal responses on EEG in idiopathic generalised epilepsy were researched. " 10/01/2011 - "No effects of the gonadal hormones on photoparoxysmal EEG responses in idiopathic generalised epilepsy." 07/01/2015 - "Many studies suggest that catamenial seizures are caused by fluctuations in gonadal hormones during the menstrual cycle, but this has been difficult to study in rodent models of epilepsy because the ovarian cycle in rodents, called the estrous cycle, is disrupted by severe seizures. " 09/01/2006 - "It is clear from both clinical observations of women, and research in laboratory animals, that gonadal hormones exert a profound influence on neuronal excitability, seizures, and epilepsy. "
3.	Stroke (Strokes) 08/01/2005 - "Female patients experience substantial neuroprotection after experimental stroke compared with male patients, a finding attributed to the protective effects of gonadal hormones. " 01/01/2016 - "In light of the age and sex differences in stroke outcomes, this review highlights how aging and gonadal hormones influence these responses. " 12/01/2012 - "Age, sex, and gonadal hormones have profound effects on ischemic stroke outcomes, although how these factors impact basic stroke pathophysiology remains unclear. " 01/01/2016 - "In addition, astrocytes express receptors for gonadal hormones and synthesize several neurosteroids suggesting that the sex differences in stroke outcome may be mediated through astrocytes. " 02/01/2015 - "Sex differences in ischemic stroke sensitivity are influenced by gonadal hormones, not by sex chromosome complement."
4.	Melanoma (Melanoma, Malignant) 08/01/1986 - "This phenomenon suggests that female gonadal hormones may exert an inhibitory effect on cutaneous melanoma, hence lengthening the disease-free interval." 01/01/1987 - "The analysis of correlations between levels of epiphyseal, hypophyseal, adrenocortical and gonadal hormones suggested functional disorders developing in these glands to be interdependent and account for dysfunction of the thymus and immune system in patients suffering malignant melanoma. "
5.	Leiomyoma (Uterine Fibroids) 07/01/2013 - "Because gonadal hormones induce or maintain leiomyoma growth, selective progesterone receptor modulators have been evaluated as suitable therapeutic agents. " 05/01/2010 - "Novel therapies using pathways distinct from gonadal hormones, including antifibrotics, retinoic acid, peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptor gamma ligands, and curcumin, provide promise for a future with improved therapeutic options for women suffering from uterine leiomyomas."
