Journal ArticleDOI

Intracrine androgen biosynthesis, metabolism and action revisited.

TL;DR: An overview of human C19 steroid biosynthesis including the production of 11-oxygenated androgens, their transport in circulation and uptake into peripheral tissues, and the mechanisms of intracrinology are conceptualised and reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

MECHANISMS IN ENDOCRINOLOGY: The sexually dimorphic role of androgens in human metabolic disease

TL;DR: It is hypothesised that serum androgen concentrations observed in female androgen excess and male hypogonadism are metabolically disadvantageous, promoting adipose and liver lipid accumulation, central fat mass expansion and insulin resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI

The CYP11B subfamily.

TL;DR: The occurrence and development of P450-catalyzed enzymes in different species, their contribution to the biosynthesis of steroid hormones as well as their regulation at different levels (gene expression, cellular regulation, regulation on the level of proteins) is the topic of this chapter.
