Few cases of FSH receptor mutations have been described in a rare syndrome: the spontaneous hyperstimulation syndrome that occurs during pregnancy. New genes involved in human folliculogenesis have been identified such as FOXL2, BMP15 and WNT4. AMH is also involved in the earlier stages of folliculogenesis. It is now recognized as a marker of follicle reserve. The international consensus of Rotterdam identified diagnostic criteria for the definition of polycystic ovary syndrome. Concerning contraception, new ways of contraception (vaginal or transcutaneous) are now available. Emergency contraception has become possible with the levonorgestrel, a single dose contraceptive agent easy to get.

It is the sole hypoglycaemic hormone. Its structure remained significantly preserved during evolution. Its production and secretion by the pancreatic β-cells are tightly controlled. Insulin gene transcription is under the control of numerous factors which act in trans on the gene promoter. Glucose is the most important regulator, but hormones such as GLP-1, GH, leptin and, prolactin are also able to modulate insulin gene expression. The final hormone is synthesised as proinsulin, a high molecular weight protein which is stored in micro-vesicles where its conversion into insulin is triggered. Insulin release requires exocytosis process. The control of insulin secretion induces an elementary “regulation loop” which links nutrient concentration, especially glucose, to insulin secretion. Modulators of hormonal or neural origin are simultaneously involved, attenuating or amplifying this secretion. Glucose is the more potent stimulating factor of insulin secretion and it affects the effect of all other secretagogues. Its metabolism within the β-cell generates cofactors, particularly the ATP that triggers electrical events in the plasma membrane and ionic movements, resulting in a huge entry of calcium into the cell and finally in the exocytosis stimulation. The modulators of the insulin response to glucose act essentially through Gs or Gr proteins (changes in cAMP concentration) or Gq proteins (activation of phospholipase C). The adaptation of the coordinated functional activity of the β-cells to changes of glucose homeostasis is a good example of the specialization of a micro-organ to the optimal short- and long-term control of energetic homeostasis.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100422,"journal":{"name":"EMC - Endocrinologie","volume":"2 4","pages":"Pages 241-264"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.emcend.2005.07.001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87198247","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hunger and satiety are psycho-physiological states that, respectively, elicit or inhibit food intake. Homeostatic (glucostatic or lipostatic) and non-homeostatic (environmental conditions) mechanisms contribute to the periodic initiation of food intake. Once a meal has started, the stimulation to eat is progressively antagonized by the cumulative effects of the ingested foods. This satiation process brings the eating episode to an end before the ingested nutrients have been absorbed. Meal size is determined by an interaction of sensory (food quality and variety), gastro-intestinal, and neuroendocrine responses. A Pavlovian learning mechanism allows the metabolic consequences of ingesting a particular food to become associated with the sensory characteristics of the food; as a consequence, a unique repertoire of food acceptance and rejection responses is shaped for each individual eater. Satiety, the post-meal phase of inhibition of eating, depends on the nutrient composition of the meal and, mainly, on its energy density. The selection of high energy-density foods induces little satiety and favours “passive over-consumption”. In humans, culture, socio-economical status, family context, and even the physical characteristics of the environment affect food choices and energy intake. The mechanisms selected by Evolution in order to allow survival under environmental conditions of food shortage seem more efficient at correcting for energy needs than excesses. In the present context of food plethora, the obesity epidemic reflects both a biological bias and the potent stimulation from the environment.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100422,"journal":{"name":"EMC - Endocrinologie","volume":"2 4","pages":"Pages 179-197"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.emcend.2005.08.003","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88378106","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
