Estradiol is essential for the development of female sex characteristics and fertility. Postmenopausal women and breast cancer patients have high levels of estradiol. Aromatase catalyzes estradiol synthesis; however, the factors regulating aromatase

This study aims to investigate whether stabilization of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) level reduces angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced cardiac fibrosis and -elevated blood pressure accompanying with inhibition of NADPH oxidase (NOX) expression and pre

Aldosterone, which regulates renal salt retention, is synthesized in adrenocortical mitochondria in response to angiotensin II. Excess aldosterone causes myocardial injury and heart failure, but potential intracardiac aldosterone synthesis has been c

Aldosterone (Aldo) causes myocardial injury and fibrosis. While most Aldo is made by the adrenal zona glomerulosa; there have been controversial reports that Aldo is also synthesized in the heart; such myocardial synthesis of Aldo might contribute to

After cholesterol is transported into the mitochondria of steroidogenic tissues, the first steroid, pregnenolone, is synthesized in adrenal and gonadal tissues to initiate steroid synthesis by catalyzing the conversion of pregnenolone to progesterone

We built an electrospinning apparatus that integrates conventional electrospinning components with an FDM 3D-printing configuration, including real-time 3-axis control to improve accuracy and precision in nanofiber deposition over conventional far-fi

The steroidogenic enzyme 3-β hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 2 (3βHSD2) mediates the conversion of pregnenolone to progesterone and dehydroepiandrosterone to androstenedione through both its dehydrogenase and isomerase activities, making it necessary

In human adrenarche during childhood, the secretion of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) from the adrenal gland increases due to its increased synthesis and/or decreased metabolism. DHEA is synthesized by 17α-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase, and is metabolized

Although the mechanism by which the steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR) promotes steroidogenesis has been studied extensively, it remains incompletely characterized. Because structural analysis has revealed a hydrophobic sterol-binding pock

The anthrax protective antigen (PA) binds to the host cellular receptor capillary morphogenesis protein 2 (CMG2) with high affinity. To gain a better understanding of how pH may affect binding to the receptor, we have investigated the kinetics of bin
