TLDR
Results showed that the macromolecular complexes increased vascular resistance similarly to free testosterone and blocked adenosine-induced vasodilatation and exerted rapidly and possibly through a non-genomic mechanism.

Androgens and cardiovascular disease.

TL;DR: The commonality of risk factor patterns and mechanisms suggests that the efficacy of antiatherogenic therapy is an important challenge with the potential to enhance men's motivation for prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Non-genomic Actions of Androgens

TL;DR: The non-genomic effects of androgens are reviewed, along with a discussion of the possible role non- genomic androgen actions have on animal physiology and behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI

Non-genomic actions of sex steroid hormones

TL;DR: The evidence collected in the past Years indicates that target cells and organs are regulated by a complex interplay of genomic and non-genomic signaling mechanisms of steroid hormones, and the integrated action of these machineries has important functional roles in a variety of pathophysiological processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Receptor mechanisms mediating non-genomic actions of sex steroids.

TL;DR: Recent advances in the understanding of the nature of the receptors and mechanisms responsible for rapid non-genomic signaling actions of sex steroids, including novel membrane receptors and interactions of nuclear steroid receptors with membrane and cytoplasmic signaling molecules such as adapter proteins, G proteins, ion channels, and protein kinases are focused on.

Postmenopausal estrogen therapy and cardiovascular disease. Ten-year follow-up from the nurses' health study.

TL;DR: Current estrogen use is associated with a reduction in the incidence of coronary heart disease as well as in mortality from cardiovascular disease, but it is not associated with any change in the risk of stroke.

Non-genomic and genomic effects of steroids on neural activity

TL;DR: Evidence that synergistic interactions occur between non-genomic and genomic actions of steroids is reviewed, showing that progesterone appears to be one of the most active of the steroids, and its naturally produced metabolites and some synthetic analogs show activities that are different from the parent steroid.
Journal ArticleDOI

Postmenopausal estrogen therapy and cardiovascular disease.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of postmenopausal estrogen therapy on the risk of cardiovascular disease remains controversial, and the authors used the Nurses' Health Study (NHS) with 48,470 participants to study the effects of estrogen therapy.
