Selection on personality in a songbird affects maternal hormone levels tuned to its effect on timing of reproduction.

21 Oct 2008 The increase or decrease in yolk androgens over the laying sequence of a clutch in birds may mitigate or enhance, respectively, the disadvantage of the last-hatched chicks, providing a potentially adaptive tool to adjust brood size to food ... Read more...

Cardiovascular risk in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

29 Sep 2008 Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a heterogeneous disease affecting about 5-10% of reproductive-age female population, which is predominantly characterized by chronic anovulation, hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance. PCOS women represent an ... Read more...

Prenatal exposure to sex steroid hormones and behavioral/cognitive outcomes.

29 Sep 2008 Experimental studies in animals indicate that androgen exposure in fetal or neonatal life largely accounts for known sex differences in brain structure and behavior. Clinical research in humans suggests similar influences of early androgen ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Gonadal Steroid Hormones'

Definition: Steroid hormones produced by the GONADS. They stimulate reproductive organs, germ cell maturation, and the secondary sex characteristics in the males and the females. The major sex steroid hormones include ESTRADIOL; PROGESTERONE; and TESTOSTERONE.
