Changes in serum estradiol were positively correlated to changes in luteinizing hormone (ρ = 0.107, p  less then  0.001) and negatively correlated to changes in follicle-stimulating hormone levels (ρ = -0.167, p  less then  0.001) and body mass index (ρ = -0.082, p  less then  0.001). Conclusion Testosterone administration in AFAB transgender people resulted in decreasing serum estradiol levels. Our results suggest that testosterone therapy leads to central suppression of estradiol production, with partial restitution due to aromatization.Proteoglycans, a class of carbohydrate-modified proteins, often modulate growth factor signaling on the cell surface. However, the molecular mechanism by which proteoglycans regulate signal transduction is largely unknown. In this study, using a recently-developed glycoproteomic method, we found that Windpipe (Wdp) is a novel chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan (CSPG) in Drosophila. Wdp is a single-pass transmembrane protein with leucin-rich repeat (LRR) motifs and bears three CS sugar chain attachment sites in the extracellular domain. Here we show that Wdp modulates the Hedgehog (Hh) pathway. In the wing disc, overexpression of wdp inhibits Hh signaling, which is dependent on its CS chains and the LRR motifs. wdp null mutant flies show a specific defect (supernumerary scutellar bristles) known to be caused by Hh overexpression. RNAi knockdown and mutant clone analyses showed that loss of wdp leads to the upregulation of Hh signaling. Altogether, our study demonstrates a novel role of CSPGs in regulating Hh signaling.Collective cell migration plays crucial roles in tissue remodeling, wound-healing, and cancer cell invasion. However, its underlying
