However, we now know that DHT can also be formed in peripheral tissues by the oxidation of 5α-androstane-3α,17β-diol (adiol). This pathway is responsible for the formation of the male phenotype. We discuss the serendipitous discovery in the tammar wallaby of an alternate pathway by which adiol is formed in the testes, secreted into plasma and converted in peripheral tissues to DHT. This alternate pathway is responsible for virilisation of the urogenital system in this species and is present in the testes at the onset of male puberty of all mammals studied so far. This is the first clear-cut function for steroid 5α-reductase 1 in males. Unexpectedly, the discovery of this pathway in this Australian marsupial has had a major impact in understanding the pathophysiology of aberrant virilisation in female newborns. Overactivity of the alternate pathway appears to explain virilisation in congenital adrenal hyperplasia CAH, in X-linked 46,XY disorders of sex development. It also appears to be important in polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) since PCOS ovaries have enhanced the expression of genes and proteins of the alternate pathway. It is now clear that normal male development in marsupials, rodents and humans requires the action of both the classic and the alternate (backdoor) pathways.</p>","PeriodicalId":15740,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Endocrinology","volume":"258 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9926204","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Approximately 100 years ago, several research groups discovered that pancreatic extracts would cause a brief rise in blood glucose before they observed the decrease in glucose attributed to insulin. An overall description of the regulation of glucagon secretion requires the inclusion of its sibling insulin because they both are made primarily by the islet and they both regulate each other in different ways. For example, glucagon stimulates insulin secretion, whereas insulin suppresses glucagon secretion. The mechanism of action of glucagon on insulin secretion has been identified as a trimeric guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G-protein)-mediated event. The manner in which insulin suppresses glucagon release from the alpha cell is thought to be highly dependent on the peri-portal circulation of the islet through which blood flows downstream from beta cells to alpha cells. In this scenario, it is via the circulation that insulin is thought to suppress the release of glucagon. However, high levels of glucose also have been shown to suppress glucagon secretion. Consequently, the glucose-lowering effect of insulin may be additive to the direct effects of insulin to suppress alpha cell function, so that in vivo both the discontinuation of the insulin signal and the condition of low glucose jointly are responsible for induction of glucagon secretion.</p>","PeriodicalId":15740,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Endocrinology","volume":"258 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9797283","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Islet cell biosynthetic activity is essential in regulating not only the hormonal reserve within cells but also in renewing all the proteins involved in the control of secretion. Here we aimed to assess whether intercellular interactions affected similarly secretion and protein biosynthesis of rat alpha and beta cells. Insulin and glucagon secretion were analyzed by ELISA or reverse hemolytic plaque assay, and protein biosynthesis evaluated at single cell level using bioorthogonal noncanonical amino acid tagging. Regarding beta cells, we showed a positive correlation between insulin secretion and protein biosynthesis. We also observed that homologous contacts increased both activities at low or moderate glucose concentrations. By contrast, at high glucose concentration, homologous contacts increased insulin secretion and not protein biosynthesis. In addition, heterogeneous contacts between beta and alpha cells had no impact on insulin secretion and protein biosynthesis. Regarding alpha cells, we showed that when they were in contact with beta cells, they increased their glucagon secretion in response to a drop of glucose concentration, but, on the other hand, they decreased their protein biosynthesis under any glucose concentrations.

Testosterone also modulates erythrocytosis and vascular endothelial and smooth muscle cell function, with potential impacts on haematocrit and the cardiovascular system.

Furthermore, we observed an increased infiltration with macrophages in the COVID-19 adipose tissues compared to control adipose tissue. In addition, crown-like structures of dying adipocytes surrounded by macrophages were observed in the adipose tissue from COVID-19 patients. These data suggest that in obese individuals, in addition to an increased mass of adipose tissue that could potentially be infected, increased macrophage infiltration due to direct infection with SARS-CoV-2 and sustained viral shedding, rather than preinfection ACE2 receptor expression, may be responsible for the increased severity and mortality of COVID-19 in patients with obesity.</p>","PeriodicalId":15740,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Endocrinology","volume":"258 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9795040","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
