Researchers have developed a new compound, ZTA-261, that binds to thyroid hormone receptor beta (THR ). THR plays an important role in the regulation of lipid metabolism, which affects lipid levels in ...

Researchers led by University of Texas UT Southwestern dermatologists report that a common inflammatory skin condition may stem from poorly regulated sex hormones. The study (“Interleukins 4 and 13 ...

A study led by dermatologists suggests that a common inflammatory skin condition may stem from poorly regulated sex hormones. The finding could offer an unexpected new target to fight this condition.

Thyroid hormones are involved in growth, development and metabolism processes. The thyroid hormone receptor β (THRβ) isoform, mainly expressed in the liver, is responsible for the reduction of ...

A study group at MedUni Vienna has identified a regulatory loop controlled by leptin, by which this adipocyte-derived hormone regulates hepatic lipid metabolism via the autonomic nervous system. The ...

Hormones coordinate different body functions by carrying messages through the bloodstream to target cells and tissues. Hormonal imbalances occur through inadequate or excess hormone synthesis, which ...

Overweight, obesity, and dyslipidaemia were common in transgender adolescents before hormone therapy. Sex steroid therapy affected lipid profiles differently in transgender boys and girls, with trans ...

One of the hallmarks of cancer is an altered lipid metabolism. Lipids are highly complex molecules that play important roles as a structural component of membrane walls as well as acting as a source ...
