Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Enzyme

Alain Bélanger spends much of his time researching Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Androgen, Dehydroepiandrosterone and Dihydrotestosterone. Internal medicine is closely attributed to Glucuronidation in his study. His Glucuronidation research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Glucuronosyltransferase and Steroid.

His work in Testosterone, Menopause, Estrogen, Estrone and Hormone is related to Endocrinology. In his work, Pituitary gland is strongly intertwined with Androgen receptor, which is a subfield of Androgen. His Dehydroepiandrosterone research incorporates themes from Sex hormone-binding globulin, NADP metabolism, Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate and Raloxifene.

His most cited work include:

  • The UDP glycosyltransferase gene superfamily: recommended nomenclature update based on evolutionary divergence. (944 citations)
  • Marked Decline in Serum Concentrations of Adrenal C19 Sex Steroid Precursors and Conjugated Androgen Metabolites During Aging (606 citations)
  • Endocrine and intracrine sources of androgens in women: Inhibition of breast cancer and other roles of androgens and their precursor dehydroepiandrosterone (447 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary areas of investigation include Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Androgen, Testosterone and Dehydroepiandrosterone. Internal medicine is represented through his Antiandrogen, Flutamide, Prostate cancer, Estrogen and Prostate research. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Glucuronidation and Androgen receptor.

His studies in Testosterone integrate themes in fields like Steroid hormone and Prolactin. His work deals with themes such as Menopause, Lipoprotein and Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, which intersect with Dehydroepiandrosterone. The study incorporates disciplines such as Androsterone and LNCaP in addition to Dihydrotestosterone.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (77.64%)
  • Endocrinology (72.20%)
  • Androgen (25.56%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2000-2017)?

  • Internal medicine (77.64%)
  • Endocrinology (72.20%)
  • Androgen (25.56%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Alain Bélanger mostly deals with Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Androgen, Glucuronidation and Dihydrotestosterone. His Internal medicine study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Glucuronosyltransferase. His study in Dehydroepiandrosterone, Testosterone, Estrogen, Estrone and Androsterone glucuronide is carried out as part of his studies in Endocrinology.

The Dehydroepiandrosterone study combines topics in areas such as Metencephalon, Adrenal cortex, Pregnenolone and Cytochrome P450. The concepts of his Androgen study are interwoven with issues in Androsterone, Cancer, LNCaP and Androgen receptor. His Glucuronidation research also works with subjects such as

  • Steroid that connect with fields like Peptide hormone,
  • Cellular localization, which have a strong connection to Hormone metabolism.

Between 2000 and 2017, his most popular works were:

  • Endocrine and intracrine sources of androgens in women: Inhibition of breast cancer and other roles of androgens and their precursor dehydroepiandrosterone (447 citations)
  • Is dehydroepiandrosterone a hormone (369 citations)
  • Relative enzymatic activity, protein stability, and tissue distribution of human steroid-metabolizing UGT2B subfamily members. (298 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Internal medicine

Alain Bélanger mainly investigates Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Dehydroepiandrosterone, Androgen and Glucuronidation. His study in Prostate, Prostate cancer, Metabolite, Endometrium and Steroid hormone falls within the category of Internal medicine. Endocrinology is frequently linked to Hormone replacement therapy in his study.

His study in Dehydroepiandrosterone is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Cholesterol side-chain cleavage enzyme, Pregnenolone and Theca interna. His Glucuronidation research includes themes of Cell, Subcellular localization, Sequence analysis and Cell growth. As part of the same scientific family, he usually focuses on Dihydrotestosterone, concentrating on Steroid and intersecting with UGT2B4, Peptide secretion and Peptide hormone.
