1. Leydig and Sertoli cell function in individuals with genital ambiguity, 46,XY karyotype, palpable gonads and normal testosterone secretion: a case-control study
Abstract BACKGROUND: Because normal male sexual differentiation is more complex than normal female sexual differentiation, there are more cases of disorders of sex development (DSDs) with 46,XY karyotype that have unclear etiology. However, Leydig and Sertoli cell markers are rarely used in distinguishing such individuals. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the funct

2. Classic and current concepts in adrenal steroidogenesis: a reappraisal
ABSTRACT Adrenal steroid biosynthesis and its related pathology are constant evolving disciplines. In this paper, we review classic and current concepts of adrenal steroidogenesis, plus control mechanisms of steroid pathways, distribution of unique enzymes and cofactors, and major steroid families. We highlight the presence of a “mineralocorticoid (MC) pat

3. Linear and Nonlinear Heart Rate Variability Analysis in Gonadal Dysgenesis (Swyer Syndrome): A Case Report
Abstract Swyer syndrome is one of the disorders of sexual differentiation. Previous studies have demonstrated increased sympathetic activity with heart rate variability (HRV) analysis with decreasing estradiol levels. One patient presented a pure 46, XY gonadal dysgenesis with female phenotype. Cardiac autonomic modulation was assessed through HRV analysis w

4. Action of two endocrine disrupters on the sexual differenciation of Nile tilapia
RESUMO Desreguladores endócrinos são substâncias exógenas que possuem a capacidade de alterar uma ou várias funções do sistema endócrino com efeitos adversos a saúde um organismo intacto. O objetivo principal do presente trabalho foi avaliar a ação dos desreguladores endócrinos 17β-estradiol (E2) e 17α-etinilestradiol (EE2) na diferenciação s

5. Androgen insensitivity syndrome: a review
ABSTRACT Androgenic insensitivity syndrome is the most common cause of disorders of sexual differentiation in 46,XY individuals. It results from alterations in the androgen receptor gene, leading to a frame of hormonal resistance, which may present clinically under 3 phenotypes: complete (CAIS), partial (PAIS) or mild (MAIS). The androgen receptor gene has 8

6. Sexual dimorphism and population differentiation in the Chilean Neotropical moth Macaria mirthae (Lepidoptera, Geometridae): a wing geometric morphometric example
Abstract Sexual shape dimorphism is the differentiation of male and female organisms based on their shape variation; this definition was proposed for the use of geometric morphometrics analysis where the geometric features of the shape are analyzed without the influence of the size. Macaria mirthae (Lepidoptera: Geometridae) is a moth that inhabits different

7. Long-term follow-up of a female with congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to P450-oxidoreductase deficiency
SUMMARY P450 oxidoreductase deficiency (PORD) is a variant of congenital adrenal hyperplasia that is caused by POR gene mutations. The POR gene encodes a flavor protein that transfers electrons from nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) to all microsomal cytochrome P450 type II (including 21-hydroxylase, 17α-hydroxylase 17,20 lyase and aromata

8. Intrauterine sexual differentiation: biosyntesis and action of sexual steroid hormones
The objective of this review was to describe sexual differentiation events in mammals, relating them to biosynthesis of sexual steroid hormones and their mechanisms of action. Cholesterol is the precursor of sexual steroid hormone biosynthesis via action of several enzymes converting these hormones. Progestagens hormones serve as substrate for the production

9. Behavioral event occurrence differs between behavioral states in Sotalia guianensis (Cetarctiodactyla: Delphinidae) dolphins: a multivariate approach
Difficulties in quantifying behavioral events can cause loss of information about cetacean behavior, especially behaviors whose functions are still debated. The lack of knowledge is greater for South American species such as Sotalia guianensis (Van Benédén, 1864). Our objective was to contextualize the behavioral events inside behavioral states using a Per

10. Família, parentalidade e época: um \"nós\" que não existe / Family, parenting and age: an us that does not exist
Parenting is a neologism that has been achieving consistency over the last years and that tends to replace the term family. It is possible to identify this concern in various authors, from different disciplines, extracting different consequences from the possible replacement of the term. Would there actually be such an aspiration in this new term and in its

11. Geographical variation in morphology of the genus Micrablepharus and Vanzosaura (Squamata, Gymnophthalmidae, Gymnophthalmini) and test of biogeographic hypotheses with the use of species distribution modeling / Variação morfológica geográfica em lagartos dos gêneros Micrablepharus e Vanzosaura (Squamata, Gymnophthalmidae, Gymnophthalmini) e teste de hipóteses biogeográficas com o uso de modelagem de distribuição
Vanzosaura rubricauda e Micrablepharus maximilian são duas espécies de lagartos microteídeos (Gymnophthalmidae) com ampla distribuição na \"grande diagonal\" de formações abertas da América do Sul. Ao longo de suas distribuições, as espécies estão sujeitas a condições ambientais muito variáveis, em região com complexa história geomorfológic

12. Post-partum testosterone administration partially reverses the effects of perinatal cadmium exposure on sexual behavior in rats
This study investigated the effects of perinatal cadmium exposure on sexual behavior, organ weight, and testosterone levels in adult rats. We examined whether immediate postpartum testosterone administration is able to reverse the toxic effects of the metal. Forty pregnant Wistar rats were divided into three groups: 1) control, 2) 10 mg kg-1 cadmium chloride
