IMPACT OF SEROTONIN REUPTAKE INHIBITORS ON SEX HORMONE LEVELS

本子项目是利用由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的众多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能已经从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。列出的机构是中心的，不一定是研究者的机构。该研究的主要目的是确定SSRI类药物常见的性副作用是否与药物对性腺类固醇激素的影响有关。该研究调查了5 -羟色胺再摄取抑制剂（SSRI）抗抑郁药抑制类固醇激素产生的假设。另一个假设是在服用SSRI后出现的性副作用与雄激素循环水平下降有关。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The broad objective of the study is to determine whether sexual side effects common with SSRI medications may be associated with the medication's effect on gonadal steroid hormones. The study investigates the hypothesis that serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) antidepressants suppress production of steroid hormones. And additional hypothesis is that there will be an association between the emergence of sexual side effects after starting an SSRI given the decrease in circulation levels of androgen hormones.
