Influence of insulin and testosterone on adrenocortical steroidogenesis in vitro: preliminary studies.

TLDR
It is clear that extra-adrenal factors such as insulin and T have some adrenal regulatory capacity, and insulin stimulated DHEAS and decreased DHEA production, suggesting that it increases adrenocortical sulfotransferase activity.

Precocious pubarche is associated with SGA, prematurity, weight gain, and obesity

TL;DR: Both prematurity and SGA were associated with precocious pubarche, as was overweight/obesity, irrespective of size or gestation at birth, and excess weight gain in childhood may predispose to precociouspubarche in susceptible individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI

DHEA, DHEAS and PCOS.

TL;DR: Women with PCOS and APA excess appear to have a generalized exaggeration in adrenal steroidogenesis in response to ACTH stimulation, although they do not have an overt hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis dysfunction.
Journal ArticleDOI

The adrenal and polycystic ovary syndrome.

TL;DR: DHEAS levels and the response of AAs to ACTH are relatively constant over time and are closely correlated between PCOS patients and their siblings suggesting that this abnormality is an inherited trait in PCOS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of Resveratrol on Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled Trial.

TL;DR: Resveratrol significantly reduced ovarian and adrenal androgens and may be, at least in part, related to an improvement of insulin sensitivity and a decline of insulin level.

Insulin resistance and the polycystic ovary syndrome: mechanism and implications for pathogenesis.

TL;DR: Since PCOS usually has a menarchal age of onset, this makes it a particularly appropriate disorder in which to examine the ontogeny of defects in carbohydrate metabolism and for ascertaining large three-generation kindreds for positional cloning studies to identify NIDDM genes.

Prevalence of the polycystic ovary syndrome in unselected Black and White women of the Southeastern United States : A prospective study

TL;DR: In a consecutive population of unselected women the prevalence of hirsutism varied from 2-8% depending on the chosen cut-off F-G score, with no significant difference between White and Black women.

Age Changes and Sex Differences in Serum Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate Concentrations throughout Adulthood

TL;DR: A longitudinal analysis of weekly specimens from 4 normal men, aged 36-59 yr, revealed individual variability (mean coefficient of variation, 19%) and failed to demonstrate any monthly, seasonal, or annual rhythmicity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of the acute production of steroids in steroidogenic cells.

TL;DR: This chapter will focus on studies designed to elucidate the mechanisms involved in the acute regulation of steroid production in response to hormone stimulation.

Intraadrenal Interactions in the Regulation of Adrenocortical Steroidogenesis

TL;DR: The splanchnic nerve in regulating adrenocortical neural function and the influence of adrenal innervation on adrenOCortical function are studied.
