Article Synopsis
  • Brenner tumors are types of ovarian epithelial tumors that can present as benign, borderline, or malignant, and the case discussed highlights one associated with postmenopausal bleeding and elevated estradiol levels.
  • A 59-year-old woman, who had been menopausal for seven years, experienced postmenopausal bleeding and underwent various evaluations, including ultrasound and biopsies, leading to findings of a mass in the right adnexa.
  • Ultimately, the patient had a laparoscopic hysterectomy which revealed the mass to be a Brenner tumor; the case emphasizes the importance of evaluating persistent postmenopausal bleeding to rule out serious conditions like endometrial cancer.

Importance: Bone mineral density (BMD) z scores in transgender adolescents decrease during puberty suppression with a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist. Previous research found that after short-term use of gender-affirming hormones (GAH), pretreatment z scores were not restored. Long-term follow-up studies are lacking.

Kisspeptin, a product of the Kiss1 gene is considered a potent stimulator of gonadotropin release, by interacting with its receptor, the G protein-coupled receptor 54. Kiss1 neurons are known to mediate the positive and negative feedback effects of oestradiol on GnRH neurons that control the pulsatile and surge secretion of GnRH. While in spontaneously ovulating mammals the GnRH/LH surge is initiated by a rise in ovarian oestradiol secreted from maturing follicles, in induced ovulators, the primary trigger is the mating stimulus.

For vertebrates living in social hierarchies, the neuroendocrine system regulates temporal aspects of aggressive interactions during status establishment. In teleost fishes, the sex steroids 17β-estradiol (E) and 11-ketotestosterone (KT), and the glucocorticoid, cortisol (CORT) are associated with aggression in distinct phases of their life history. Bluebanded gobies, Lythrypnus dalli, exhibit bidirectional sexual plasticity by responding to changes in their social structure by escalating aggression associated with neural changes that precede gonadal reorganization to the opposite sex.
