L Wallensteen , L Karlsson , V Messina , A Nordenstrom , S Lajic

J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2020;105(7): e2439-48.https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32433752/Here, the authors investigated the effects of dexamethasone (DEX) on metabolism in individuals without CAH but treated with DEX during the first trimester of fetal life. Prenatal DEX exposure was associated with decreased beta-cell function and higher cholesterol concentrations.Pre...

To read the full abstract: J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2020; 105(3): dgaa016. PMID: 31927590.Classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency requires life-long glucocorticoid (GC) replacement therapy. Previous studies on general cognitive ability in patients with CAH have been conflicting, and the majority focused on intelligence in adult patients. Some studies h...

Brief summary: This study identified nitric oxide synthase 1 (NOS1) heterozygous missense variants in 6 patients with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. Altered minipuberty and puberty as well as cognitive impairment were observed in NOS1 deficient mice.Nitric oxide (NO) is produced under the control of NO synthase in hypothalamic neurons. NO plays a crucial role in regulating gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion, acting as a strong inhibitory sig...
