THE IN VITRO METABOLISM OF Al - ANDROSTENEDIONE
نویسندگان
چکیده
It has been demonstrated in this laboratory (1) that A4-androstenedione3,17, c&testosterone, and small amount of other unidentified steroids are formed when testosterone is incubated with liver slices. In order to elucidate further the course of the metabolism of these steroids, 2000 mg. of A4-androstenedione-3, 17, the chief metabolite of testosterone (l), has been incubated in lots of 100 mg. per 10 gm. of liver slices with sterile precautions. The procedure, gross extraction, and fractionation were identical to those employed in the first study.

P-184: Effects of Licorice Hydroalcoholic Root Extract on Letrozole-Induced Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in Mouse
Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is multifaceted and includes reproductive, metabolic, and general health disorders, so employing different animal models is needed to study the syndrome. Use of an aromatase inhibitor, letrozole, on adult female rats produces a phenotype remarkably similar to that of PCOS. Licorice has been used in treating women infertility for thousands of years. L...

متن کاملThe effect of organotin compounds on gender specific androstenedione metabolism in the freshwater ramshorn snail Marisa cornuarietis.
In a recent study, we demonstrated that androstenedione was mainly converted to testosterone (T) and 5alpha-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by digestive gland/gonad complex microsomal fractions isolated from male Marisa cornuarietis, whereas it was primarily metabolized to 5alpha-dihydroandrostenedione (DHA) by females. In the present work, the sexual dimorphic metabolism of androstenedione was furth...
متن کاملBiochemical study of testosterone in skin: in vivo and in vitro metabolism of testosterone in rat skin.
In vitro and in vivo testosterone metabolism was studied using rat skin. The in vitro stoichiometric studies strongly suggested the existence in the skin of 5a-reductase and other enzymes involved in testosterone metabolism. The predominant metabolites were 5adihydrotestosterone, androstandiol and 6.4-androstenedione. The rate of testosterone metabolism in vitro was higher in preputial skin tha...

Hormone concentrations decline with aging. Up to now it was not clear, whether the decrease of hormone concentrations in blood samples are also present in cutaneous suction blister fluids, and whether skin from different anatomical sites shows different hormone concentrations.Analysis of suction blister fluids and paired blood samples from young (mean 27.8 y) and old (mean 62.6 y) male subjects...
