Gender differences in glucose homeostasis and diabetes

TL;DR: This review discusses the most fundamental gender differences in glucose homeostasis and diabetes, including the prevalence of impaired fasting glucose and impaired glucose tolerance, the prevalence and incidence of type 2 and type 1 diabetes, and the sex-specific effects of testosterone and estrogen deficiency and excess.
Journal ArticleDOI

Metabolic dysfunction in polycystic ovary syndrome: Pathogenic role of androgen excess and potential therapeutic strategies.

TL;DR: Androgen excess plays a prominent role in the development of metabolic disturbances associated withPCOS, with a discernible impact on key peripheral metabolic tissues and the brain, contributing to the constellation of metabolic complications of PCOS, from obesity to insulin resistance.

A Guide for the Design of Pre-clinical Studies on Sex Differences in Metabolism

TL;DR: Experimental design and interpretation in studies addressing the mechanisms of sex differences in metabolic homeostasis and disease, using animal models and cells are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of Sex Steroids in β Cell Function, Growth, and Survival

TL;DR: A perspective on the physiological roles of estrogen, androgens, and P4 via their receptors in pancreatic β cells in the gender-specific tuning of insulin secretion is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sex differences underlying pancreatic islet biology and its dysfunction

TL;DR: Important sex differences exist in islet cell function and susceptibility to failure that represent sex-related biological factors that can be harnessed for gender-based prevention of and therapy for diabetes.

The incretin system: glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors in type 2 diabetes

TL;DR: Clinical trials with the incretin mimetic exenatide and liraglutide show reductions in fasting and postprandial glucose concentrations, and haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) associated with weight loss, but long-term clinical studies are needed to determine the benefits of targeting the inc retin axis for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

In vivo amplification of the androgen receptor gene and progression of human prostate cancer.

TL;DR: This work has identified a similar molecular mechanism in vivo for endocrine treatment failure in human prostate cancer which involves amplification of the androgen receptor (AR) gene.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cloning of human androgen receptor complementary DNA and localization to the X chromosome.

TL;DR: The deduced amino acid sequence of AR within the DNA-binding domain has highest sequence identity with the progesterone receptor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exendin-4 is a high potency agonist and truncated exendin-(9-39)-amide an antagonist at the glucagon-like peptide 1-(7-36)-amide receptor of insulin-secreting beta-cells.

TL;DR: Exendin-4 is an agonist and exendin-(9-39)-amide is a specific GLP-1 receptor antagonist, and both peptides stimulated the proinsulin gene expression at the level of transcription and reduced the effects of cAMP.

Molecular Cloning of Human and Rat Complementary DNA Encoding Androgen Receptors

TL;DR: Complementary DNAs (cDNAs) encoding androgen receptors were obtained from human testis and rat ventral prostate cDNA libraries and indicated the presence of a cysteine-rich DNA-binding domain that is highly conserved in all steroid receptors.
