dehydroepiandrosterone and Turner Syndrome

dehydroepiandrosterone has been researched along with Turner Syndrome in 24 studies

Dehydroepiandrosterone: A major C19 steroid produced by the ADRENAL CORTEX. It is also produced in small quantities in the TESTIS and the OVARY. Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) can be converted to TESTOSTERONE; ANDROSTENEDIONE; ESTRADIOL; and ESTRONE. Most of DHEA is sulfated (DEHYDROEPIANDROSTERONE SULFATE) before secretion.
dehydroepiandrosterone : An androstanoid that is androst-5-ene substituted by a beta-hydroxy group at position 3 and an oxo group at position 17. It is a naturally occurring steroid hormone produced by the adrenal glands.

Turner Syndrome: A syndrome of defective gonadal development in phenotypic females associated with the karyotype 45,X (or 45,XO). Patients generally are of short stature with undifferentiated GONADS (streak gonads), SEXUAL INFANTILISM, HYPOGONADISM, webbing of the neck, cubitus valgus, elevated GONADOTROPINS, decreased ESTRADIOL level in blood, and CONGENITAL HEART DEFECTS. NOONAN SYNDROME (also called Pseudo-Turner Syndrome and Male Turner Syndrome) resembles this disorder; however, it occurs in males and females with a normal karyotype and is inherited as an autosomal dominant.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"In girls with Turner's syndrome a positive effect of growth hormone (GH) therapy on statutal growth has been well documented, in spite of the fact that the levels of GH and IGF-I in these patients are usually within the normal range."1.31Sex hormone-binding globulin as a marker of the effect of hormonal treatment in Turner's syndrome. ( Dvorakova, M; Hampl, R; Hill, M; Lebl, J; Lisa, L; Snajderova, M; Starka, L; Sulcova, J, 2001)
"The GH axis was studied in Turner's syndrome (TS) patients."1.28Assessment of growth hormone (GH) axis in Turner's syndrome using 24-hour integrated concentrations of GH, insulin-like growth factor-I, plasma GH-binding activity, GH binding to IM9 cells, and GH response to pharmacological stimulation. ( Altman, Y; Chen, M; Landau, H; Lieberman, E; Zadik, Z, 1992)
"60 patients (139 blood specimens) with Turner's syndrome were investigated in order to obtain information concerning the origin of the increments of androgens during puberty."1.26Subnormal pubertal increases of serum androgens in Turner's syndrome. ( Apter, D; Lenko, HL; Perheentupa, J; Söderholm, A; Vihko, R, 1982)
"Children with Turner's syndrome and hypergonadotrophic males had the response in elevated DHA levels while ACTH-induced DHA response related to bone-age matched controls."1.26Responsiveness of cortisol and dehydroepiandrosterone to ACTH in children. ( Gupta, D; Ranke, MB; Rosendahl, W, 1982)
"To evaluate the relationship between the secretion of gonadotropins and adrenal androgens, patients with gonadal agenesis were evaluated by (a) administering human luteinizing hormone (hLH) for 5 days with or without estrogen pretreatment to agonadal patients who had prepubertal LH levels; (b) correlating circulating gonadotropin levels with adrenal androgens in 45 patients; and (c) comparing adrenal androgens with gonadotropins after long-term administration of estrogen or androgens."1.25Lack of correlation between gonadotropin and adrenal androgen levels in agonadal children. ( Blizzard, RM; Kowarski, A; Lee, PA; Migeon, CJ, 1975)
