Steroid hormone-induced effects on membrane dynamics and function as potential mechanism for brain sexual dimorphism

This thesis examines the possibility that steroid hormones exert many of their rapid, non-genomic effects by changing the dynamics and functions of membranes. The lipophilic molecules intercalate into bilayers, altering the movement of phospholipids and subsequently integral protein mobility. The si...
