Abstract
In this literature review, an attempt is made to analyze the interrelationships of the main sex hormones with the processes of development and progression of insulin resistance as a fundamental pathogenetic component of insulin-glucose homeostasis. In the evaluation of sex steroids, a complex approach was used - the associations of both androgens and estrogens in males and females are described in detail, a great deal of attention is paid to the violation of the secretion and effectiveness of the main adipocytokines - leptin and adiponectin in the sex hormone-insulin-glucose interaction chain. At the end of the review, new data on the expression of sodium-dependent glucose cotransporter (SGLT) and glucose transporters (GLUT) in animals, depending on sex, are presented.
