Previous steroid hormone studies concerning pregnancy and newborns have mainly
focused on glucocorticoids; wider steroid profiles have been less commonly investigated …

11-Oxyandrogens, such as 11-ketotestosterone (11-KT), 11-ketodihydrotestosterone (11-
KDHT), 11β-hydroxytestosterone (11-OHT), 11β-hydroxyandrostenedione (11-OHA4), and …

In brief Glucagon-like peptide-1 stimulates stem Leydig cell development. Glucagon-like
peptide-1 stimulates stem Leydig cell differentiation without affecting its proliferation …

Offspring phenotypes can be affected by maternal testosterone (T) and androstenedione
(A4), which are considered a tool of mothers to adjust offspring in a fluctuating environment …

In birds, exposure to maternal (yolk) testosterone affects a diversity of offspring post-hatching
traits, which eventually affect offspring competitiveness. However, maternal testosterone is …

Introduction The two major androgens in humans are testosterone (T) and
dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is produced via the classical, backdoor, and alternative …

In the last few decades, the study of maternal effects, as being strongly suggested by its
name, has been substantially investigated from the perspective of mothers in terms of …

Steroidogenic routes to androgens have been discovered and characterized over the last
two decades that fall outside the Δ4 and Δ5" classical androgen pathways" to testosterone …

Maternal androgens are considered to transmit important information for the early
developing embryos as these can play a critical role in shaping offspring phenotypes …
