Abstract:
Disorders of adrenal steroidogenesis comprise autosomal recessive conditions affecting steroidogenic enzymes of the adrenal cortex. Those are located within the 3 major branches of the steroidogenic machinery involved in the production of mineralocorticoids, glucocorticoids, and androgens. This mini review describes the principles of adrenal steroidogenesis, including the newly appreciated 11-oxygenated androgen pathway. This is followed by a description of pathophysiology, biochemistry, and clinical implications of steroidogenic disorders, including mutations affecting cholesterol import and

Abstract:
We investigated the effects of an intrafetal infusion of IGF-I on adrenal growth and expression of the adrenal steroidogenic and catecholamine-synthetic enzyme mRNAs in the sheep fetus during late gestation. Fetal sheep were infused for 10 d with either IGF-I (26 μg/kg·h; n = 14) or saline (n = 10) between 120 and 130 d gestation, and adrenal glands were collected for morphological analysis and determination of the mRNA expression of steroidogenic and catecholamine-synthetic enzymes. Fetal body weight was not altered by IGF-I infusion; however, adrenal weight was significantly increased by 145

Abstract:
ObjectiveTesticular adrenal rest tumours (TARTs) are a common finding in patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). These tumours constitute a diagnostic and management conundrum and may lead to infertility. TART cells share many functional and morphological similarities with Leydig cells (LCs), and masses consisting of such cells are occasionally misclassified as malignant testicular tumours, which may lead to erroneous orchiectomy in these patients.DesignIn this study, we aimed to investigate the potential of LC developmental markers and adrenal steroidogenic markers in the differen

Abstract:
It is currently believed that the postmenopausal ovary remains a gonadotropin-driven, androgen-producing gland. However, the adrenal contribution to circulating androgen levels may explain some conflicting results previously reported. In addition, the steroidogenic potential and gonadotropin responsiveness of the postmenopausal ovary have not been recently reassessed. Plasma T, bioavailable T, free T, androstenedione (Adione), and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate levels were measured in postmenopausal or ovariectomized women with complete adrenal insufficiency, compared with women with intact ad

During the last decades, the outlook on vitamin D has widened, from being a vitamin solely involved in bone metabolism and calcium homeostasis, to being a multifunctional hormone known to affect a broad range of physiological processes. The aim of this review is to summarize the research on vitamin D as a regulator of steroidogenic enzymes. Steroid hormones exert a wide range of physiological responses, including functions in the immune system, protein and carbohydrate metabolism, water and salt balance, reproductive system and development of sexual characteristics.

Abstract:
Adrenal toxicity is one of the major concerns in drug development. To quantitatively understand the effect of endocrine-active compounds on adrenal steroidogenesis and to assess the human adrenal toxicity of novel pharmaceutical drugs, we developed a mathematical model of steroidogenesis in human adrenocortical carcinoma NCI-H295R cells. The model includes cellular proliferation, intracellular cholesterol translocation, diffusional transport of steroids, and metabolic pathways of adrenal steroidogenesis, which serially involve steroidogenic proteins and enzymes such as StAR, CYP11A1, CYP17A1,

Abstract:
Steroidogenic factor-1 (SF-1) is a nuclear orphan receptor, which is essential for adrenal development and regulation of steroidogenic enzyme expression. SF-1 is posttranslationally modified by small ubiquitin-related modifier-1 (SUMO-1), thus mostly resulting in attenuation of transcription. We investigated the role of sumoylation enzymes, Ubc9 and protein inhibitors of activated STAT1 (PIAS1), in SF-1-mediated transcription of steroidogenic enzyme genes in the adrenal cortex. Coimmunoprecipitation assays showed that both Ubc9 and PIAS1 interacted with SF-1. Transient transfection assays in a

Abstract:
Functional zonation of the rat adrenal cortex may be defined by the expression of the mitochondrial enzymes aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2) and 11 (3-hydroxylase (CYP11B1) that regulate the secretion of the steroids aldosterone in the zona glomerulosa (ZG) and corticosterone in the zona fasciculata (ZF), respectively. Synthesis of these steroids is also dependent on steroidogenic acute regulatory (StAR) protein which limits the transport of cholesterol into the mitochondria. The main aims of this thesis were to study the distribution and expression of CYP11B2 and CYP11B1 in the adrenal cortex o

Abstract:
The adrenal cortex is a crucial endocrine gland in the mammalian stress response. In chronic inflammatory stress, cortisol is elevated whereas adrenal androgens are decreased. Furthermore, ACTH levels have poor correlation with the plasma cortisol in these conditions, thus suggesting that other factors are driving the stress response during chronic inflammatory stress. Interleukin-6 (IL-6), a cytokine which is released during chronic inflammatory stress, is assumed to be one such factor. Thus the biochemical pathways by which IL-6 increases cortisol release from the zona fasciculata (ZF), and

Abstract:
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) represents a group of autosomal recessive disorders of steroidogenesis caused by defects in steroidogenic enzymes involved in glucocorticoid synthesis or in enzymes providing cofactors to steroidogenic enzymes (1, 2). Congenital lipoid adrenal hyperplasia (CLAH) caused by steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR) deficiency is distinct in origin and presentation from the conventional variants of CAH, with the unique feature of lipid accumulation subsequently leading to destruction of adrenal function. This chapter will also mention aldosterone synthase deficiency, which is the only defect in adrenal steroidogenesis causing deficient mineralocorticoid biosynthesis without affecting glucocorticoid biosynthesis. The disorder cannot strictly be considered a CAH variant as it does not result in increased ACTH drive and thus not in adrenal hyperplasia. Novel forms of CAH have emerged during recent years. These include P450 oxidoreductase deficiency (ORD), P450 side-chain cleavage (CYP11A1) deficiency, the nonclassic form of CLAH (StAR deficiency), and apparent cortisone reductase deficiency. All forms of congenital adrenal hyperplasia resemble a disease continuum spanning from mild nonclassic presentations to classic onset with severe signs and symptoms.
