概括
目前用于女性化激素治疗的剂量往往无法达到目标雌激素水平. 肠道雌醇通常会产生超治疗水平,而通过皮肤贴片通常会产生亚治疗水平,这表明需要修订指南.
科学领域:
- 内分泌学 在内分泌学.
- 肯定性别的护理.
背景情况:
- 自2009年以来,内分泌学会关于女性化性别肯定激素治疗 (GAHT) 剂量的指导方针没有改变.
- 指南建议保持血清雌激素水平在100-200 pg/mL之间.
- 目前尚不清楚当前符合指南的剂量是否能达到不同雌醇配方的推水平.
研究的目的:
- 为了确定指导方针推的雌激素水平的频率,在口服,肠道和透皮雌激素配方中使用与指导方针一致的剂量.
- 为了评估当前GAHT剂量建议的有效性.
主要方法:
- 从2015年10月到2023年3月,对2015年10月至2023年3月以雌激醇为基础的GAHT治疗的跨性别和非二进制患者的回顾性图表审查.
- 对人口统计,GAHT疗法和血清雌激素水平的分析.
- 对配方特定结果的描述性统计分析.
主要成果:
- 口服雌激醇 (2.8 mg/天) 的平均水平为168 pg/mL,其中32%为次治疗水平,14%为超治疗水平.
- 腹腔输入雌醇 (5.8 mg/周) 的平均中位水平为342 pg/mL,超治疗水平为91%.
- 通过皮肤给予的雌激素 (0.09 mg/天) 的平均水平为81.5 pg/mL,70%的水平为治疗下水平.
结论:
- 与指导方针相一致的肠道雌二醇剂量通常会导致超治疗水平.
- 符合指导方针的透皮雌激素剂量经常导致治疗次水平.
- 目前的剂量准则可能需要对内和透皮雌二醇配方进行修订.

Internal Receptors
69.2K
Many cellular signals are hydrophilic and therefore cannot pass through the plasma membrane. However, small or hydrophobic signaling molecules can cross the hydrophobic core of the plasma membrane and bind to internal, or intracellular, receptors that reside within the cell. Many mammalian steroid hormones use this mechanism of cell signaling, as does nitric oxide (NO) gas.

Target Cell Response to Hormones
2.8K
Hormones intricately bind to receptors on the surface or within target cells, initiating a cascade of cellular responses.
Notably, the cellular response can be regulated by altering the number of receptors expressed in the cell. For example, prolonged exposure to elevated hormone levels results in a gradual decline or down-regulation in the number of receptors for that specific hormone on the cell surface. Conversely, in response to low hormone levels, cells may use up-regulation, producing an...

Hormonal Regulation of the Menstrual Cycle
261
The ovarian cycle regulates endometrial changes throughout a single menstrual cycle via the coordinated action of gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and gonadotrophins.
At puberty, GnRH begins a pulsatile release pattern, which triggers the anterior pituitary gland to secrete follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). The frequency and amplitude of GnRH pulses vary across the menstrual cycle, with faster pulses favoring LH release and slower pulses favoring FSH...

Gonadal and Placental Hormones
1.3K
The gonads, namely the testes in males and the ovaries in females, are pivotal in producing gonadal hormones that orchestrate the intricate processes of sexual development and reproduction.
In males, testosterone is the primary gonadal androgen. It plays a central role in the maturation of male reproductive organs — the penis and testes. Additionally, testosterone is instrumental in the development of secondary sexual characteristics — a deep voice as well as facial and pubic hair...

Major Hormones and Their Functions
301
Hormones, the biochemical messengers produced by endocrine glands, are pivotal in regulating bodily functions and maintaining homeostasis. Each hormone's balance is crucial; imbalances can lead to significant physiological disruptions. Major hormones include oxytocin, cortisol, epinephrine, estrogen, testosterone, thyroxine, growth hormone, insulin, and glucagon.
Oxytocin, produced in the hypothalamus and released by the pituitary gland, plays a role in social bonding, childbirth, and...

Testosterone: Functions and Regulation
521
The intricate hormonal interplay essential for male reproductive health begins with the release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) by the hypothalamus. This hormone prompts the pituitary gland to secrete follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). LH targets the Leydig cells in the testes, stimulating them to produce and release testosterone. In concert with testosterone, FSH acts on the Sertoli cells within the seminiferous tubules to facilitate the release of...
