Hormones 2016

With enthusiastic support of our Organizing Committee and Editorial Board Member, it’s my pleasure to welcome you to participate in the 2nd International Conference on Hormones and Endocrine Disorders as a continuum of our previous successful conference, in New Orleans, USA during June 27-28, 2016.

Track 1: Hormones & Steroids

Hormones are chemical messengers that have diverse chemical structures including eicosanoids, steroids, amino acids, peptides, and proteins that are secreted into the blood, which carries them to organs and tissues of the body to exert their functions. They are essential for every activity of life, including the processes of such as digestion, metabolism, respiration, tissue function, sensory perception, sleep, excretion, lactation, stress, growth and development, movement, reproduction, and mood. Many hormones, such as neurotransmitters, are active in more than one physical process.

Track 2: Growth Supplements

The body naturally produces growth hormone (HGH or simply GH) in the pituitary gland, and, as its name implies, it is responsible for cell growth and regeneration. Increasing muscle mass and bone density are impossible without GH, but it also plays a major role in maintaining the health of all human tissue, including that of the brain and other vital organs. When secreted, GH remains active in the bloodstream for only a few minutes, but this is enough time for the liver to convert it into growth factors, the most crucial of which is insulin-like growth factor-1, or IGF-1, which boasts a host of anabolic properties. Scientists began to harvest GH from the pituitary glands of cadavers in the 1950s, but didn’t synthesize the first HGH in laboratories until 1981, with its use as a performance-enhancing drug becoming popular shortly thereafter.

Track 3: Hormones and Infertility 

Infertility is defined as not being able to get pregnant despite having frequent, unprotected sex for at least a year for most people and six months in certain circumstances. Roughly 50% of the women evaluated for infertility progressed to treatment, and only a small proportion were treated with more advanced assisted reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilization.

Track 4: Hormones in Women Health

Female hormones mainly include estrogen and progesterone. These hormones influences sex differentiation and are responsible for reproduction. These are prescribed by doctors to Women to treat problems such as delayed puberty, pregnancy, Reproduction, Menopause and other medical problems that cause the body to make very low amounts of testosterone. Menopause is characterized as happening 12 months after last menstrual period and imprints the end of menstrual cycles. The move generally has three sections: perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause. Menopause can happen in your 40s or 50s, yet the normal age is 51 in the United States.

Track 6:  Cushing's disease

Overproduction of a pituitary gland hormone leads to an overactive adrenal gland. A similar condition called Cushing's syndrome may occur in people, particularly children, who take high doses of corticosteroid medications. It is a cause of Cushing's syndrome characterised by increased secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) from the anterior pituitary (secondary hypercortisolism). This is most often as a result of a pituitary adenoma (specifically pituitary basophilism) or due to excess production of hypothalamus CRH (Corticotropin releasing hormone) (tertiary hypercortisolism/hypercorticism) that stimulates the synthesis of cortisol by the adrenal glands. Pituitary adenomas are responsible for 80% of endogenous Cushing's syndrome, when excluding Cushing's syndrome from exogenously administered corticosteroids.

Track 7: Gigantism and Growth Hormone Disorders

Overproduction of growth hormone causes excessive growth. In children, the condition is called gigantism. In adults, it is called acromegaly. Growth hormone stimulates the growth of bones, muscles, and many internal organs. Excessive growth hormone, therefore, leads to abnormally robust growth of all of these tissues. Overproduction of growth hormone is almost always caused by a noncancerous (benign) pituitary tumor (adenoma). Certain rare tumors of the pancreas and lungs also can produce hormones that stimulate the pituitary to produce excessive amounts of growth hormone, with similar consequences.

Track 8: Hypothyroidism and Hyperthyroidism

The thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone, leading to fatigue, constipation, dry skin, and depression. The underactive gland can cause slowed development in children. Some types of hypothyroidism are present at birth. Hypothyroidism can be treated with levothyroxine. The dose is adjusted according to symptoms and normalization of the thyroxine and TSH levels. Thyroid medication is safe in pregnancy. While a certain amount of dietary iodine is important, excessive amounts can worsen certain types of hypothyroidism.

Track 9 : Multiple endocrine neoplasia I and II

These are rare, genetic conditions are passed down through families. They cause tumors of the parathyroid, adrenal, and thyroid glands, leading to overproduction of hormones. The cause of MEN II is a defect in a gene called RET. This defect causes many tumors to appear in the same person, but not necessarily at the same time. The disorder may occur at any age, and affects men and women equally. The main risk factor is a family history of MEN II.

Track 10: Polycystic ovary syndrome

Overproduction of androgens interfere with the development of eggs and their release from the female ovaries. PCOS is a leading cause of infertility. Polycystic ovary syndrome is a problem in which a woman hormones are out of balance. It can cause problems with your periods and make it difficult to get pregnant. PCOS also may cause unwanted changes in the way you look. If it isn't treated, over time it can lead to serious health problems, such as diabetes and heart disease. Hormones are chemical messengers that trigger many different processes, including growth and energy production. Often, the job of one hormone is to signal the release of another hormone.

Track 11: Steroids and Cancer 

Cancer is a term used for diseases in which abnormal cells divide without control and are able to invade other tissues. Cancer cells can spread to other parts of the body through the blood and lymph systems. There are more than 100 different types of cancer. Each type of cancer is unique with its own causes, symptoms, and methods of treatment. Lung cancer was the most common cancer worldwide in men contributing nearly 17% of the total number of new cases diagnosed in 2012. The top three, lung, prostate and colorectal cancers, contributed nearly 42% of all cancers (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer).Approximately 2% to 3% of women in the United States will develop cancer of the endometrium at some point during their lives.

Track 12: Steroids in Sports

Drugs commonly referred to as steroids can be classified as anabolic (anabolic-androgenic) steroids or corticosteroids. Corticosteroids, such as cortisone or prednisone are drugs that doctors often prescribe to help control inflammation in the body. Corticosteroids are not the same as the anabolic steroids that are often linked with illegal use in sports. Non-medical use of anabolic steroids is illegal and banned by most major sports organizations. In January 2005, the Anabolic Steroid Control Act was amended with the Controlled Substance Act that added anabolic steroids and prohormones (a precursor to a hormone) to the list of controlled substances and makes possession of the substances a federal crime.

Track 13 : Corticosteroids

Corticosteroids, often known as steroids, are an anti-inflammatory medicine prescribed for a wide range of conditions. They're a man-made version of hormones normally produced by the adrenal glands (two small glands that sit on top of the kidneys). Longterm corticosteroids, hydrocortisone (Cortef) and cortisone, are produced by the outer portion of the adrenal gland known as the cortex (hence the name, corticosteroid). Birth control pills can also affect high blood pressure. Women taking birth control pills usually experience a small rise in systolic and diastolic blood pressures.

Systemic corticosteroids refer to corticosteroids that are given orally or by injection and distribute throughout the body. It does not include corticosteroids used in the eyes, ears, or nose, on the skin or that are inhaled, although small amounts of these corticosteroids can be absorbed into the body. Corticosteroids treatment is mainly used to reduce inflammation and suppress the immune system

Track 14: Anabolic Steroids and Supplements

Anabolic steroids are synthetic (man-made) substances similar to male sex hormone, testosterone. The term “anabolic” means “growth”. Here, it refers to growth in muscle mass. Natural Steroids are performance enhancing substances which cause an increase in anabolic muscle mass and physical strength. Some common examples of anabolic steroids include Androstenedione, Dehydrochloromethyltestosterone (Turinabol), Methandienone (Dianabol), Methyltestosterone (Android), Nandrolone (Durabolin), Oxandrolone (Oxandrin), Oxymetholone (Anadrol), Stanozolol (Winstrol).

Anabolic steroids stimulate growth in tissues, especially bone and muscles. They also increase the production of RBCs (Red blood Cells). Anabolic steroids can be taken orally, are injectable or are used externally. Anabolic steroids are used in the treatment of many medical issues such as delayed puberty in boys, sexual dysfunction in men, breast cancer in women, weight loss in HIV, osteoporosis, anemia, endometriosis and other conditions involving hormonal imbalance.

Scope and Importance:

Generally, in endocrinology patients come to attention for only two reasons - because of excess hormone action or through its lack. Each has a number of possible causes. The pace of progress in endocrinology has always been dictated by the development of assays to measure the hormones. By and large, clinical endocrinology is limited to the measurement of hormone concentrations in venous serum or body fluids such as urine or saliva.

A lack of hormone effect may result from a lack of the hormone however caused (e.g. genetic deletion, damage to the endocrine gland, lack of a synthetic enzyme) or from the production of a biologically inactive hormone. The hormone receptor (or the down-stream signalling pathways) may be structurally abnormal and inactive leading to hormone resistance.

Market Analysis:

The global markets for hormonal drugs are divided into segments such as hormone relacement therapy market, diabetes market, growth hormone market, and hypogonadism market.

The three major segments of the hormone replacement therapy market are Estrogen replacement therapy, growth hormone replacement market and thyroid hormone replacement therapy. The largest market share is taken by estrogen replacement therapy administered to post menopausal women. It is followed by growth hormone and thyroid hormone replacement therapies in children and the elderly. 

The global hormone replacement therapy market is expected to rise to approximately USD 3.6 billion by 2018. Also it is forecast that the CAGR will be 2.5%. The estrogen administration segment is expected to be the largest in this market with a CAGR of 2.8%. 

The major holdback of the hormone replacement therapy market is the pricing pressure. An average estrogen replacement therapy will cost USD 10,000 per annum to a patient. Thus it is quite evident that this treatment is still not accessible to middle class consumers, especially those of developing nations. The major market for hormone replacement therapy is North America and other developed nations spread worldwide owing to the high purchasing power of the patients and growing awareness.

The major market players in the hormone replacement therapy market are Pfizer, Merck & co., BioSante Pharmaceuticals and Amgen. The other key players being Depomed Inc., QuatRx Pharmaceuticals, Noven Pharmaceuticals etc.

The market for diabetes is experiencing tremendous growth under the influence of rapidly increasing prevalence of diabetes worldwide. According to statistics of International Diabetes Foundation (IDF), in 2013, the global population diagnosed with diabetes was around 355 million, and is anticipated to grow to reach 592 million by the end of 2035. Such rapid prevalence of diabetes fuels the growth of diabetes market. Inception of new drug delivery for growth hormone and rising cases of end stage renal disease (ESRD), cancer, along with rise in disposable income are factors that drive the market for human growth hormone. On the other hand off label uses of human growth hormone (HGH) for body building, anti-aging and in sports are posing a challenge to the society not only because it is illegal but also because use of human growth hormone (HGH) is associated with high risk and side effects.

Hypogonadism market comprises testosterone, estrogen and progesterone replacement therapy market. This segment will experience the growth due to increasing awareness about post-menopausal hazards amongst women, awareness about testosterone amongst men. Extensive R&D is another important factor that propels growth of the market. As of 2013, there are around 180 new formulations under pipeline studies to treat diabetes, out of which, around 13 are waiting for approval from regulatory bodies.
