Testosterone secreted from the testis is converted to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in target tissues by 5 alpha-reductase and DHT exerts its action on the nucleus. Since skin is one of the target tissues of androgen we established a system for culturing human skin fibroblasts, and we investigated the conversion of testosterone to DHT in genital and nongenital skin fibroblasts obtained from males a...
Dihydrotestosterone(DHT) has played the pathogenic role in androgenetic alopecia. Patients with genetic deficiency of 5 alpha-reductase type II enzyme, which converts testosterone to DHT, do not have androgenic alopecia. The conversion of testosterone to DHT at hair follicles leads to miniaturization. In scalp biopsy, the tissue DHT level is significantly increased in balded area than non-balde...
The androgen receptor (AR) mediates the growth of benign and malignant prostate in response to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). In patients undergoing androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer, AR drives prostate cancer growth despite low circulating levels of testicular androgen and normal levels of adrenal androgen. In this report, we demonstrate the extent of AR transactivation in the prese...
Both protective and nonprotective effects of androgens on the cardiovascular system have been reported. Our previous studies show that the potent androgen receptor (AR) agonist dihydrotestosterone (DHT) increases levels of the vascular inflammatory mediator cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 in rodent cerebral arteries independent of an inflammatory stimulus. Little is known about the effects of androgens ...
benign prostatic hyperplasia (bph) is a non-malignant enlargement of the prostate gland. itis a leading disorder of the elderly male population. excessive production of dihydrotestosteronehas been implicated in this pathological condition. steroidal 5α-reductase is a membrane boundnadph dependent enzyme which is responsible for the conversion of testosterone (t) todihydrotestosterone (dht). the...
In order to produce a reporter gene assay for androgenic chemicals, a constitutive expression vector coding for the human androgen receptor and a reporter construct containing the firefly luciferase coding sequence under transcriptional control of the androgen responsive MMTV promoter were cotransfected into the androgen-insensitive human PC-3 prostate carcinoma cell line and stable transfectan...
UNLABELLED To clarify the effects of dihydrotestosterone (DHT)-induced polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) on arteriolar biomechanics in a rat model and the possible modulatory role of vitamin D3. METHODS AND RESULTS The PCOS model was induced in female Wistar rats by ten-weeks DHT treatment. Arteriolar biomechanics was tested in arterioles by pressure arteriography in control as well as DHT- an...
Accurate measurement of sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) by 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) binding assays requires the establishment of acceptable upper and lower limits of labelled DHT binding and the use of optimal quantities of radioinert DHT to displace labelled DHT. A computer assisted binding assay for SHBG is described in which upper and lower binding limits are derived mathematica...
BACKGROUND Recent clinical and experimental data suggest that testosterone may protect males against the deleterious effects of repolarization-prolonging drugs. This study tests the hypothesis that 5alpha-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) protects normal females against drug-induced excessive prolongation of repolarization. METHODS AND RESULTS We used microelectrode techniques to study isolated prepa...
This paper presents two Fortran programs that calculate the mixed radix discrete Hartley transform (DHT) using a general odd length p-point DHT module and several short length Winograd DHT (WDHT) modules. Each program has its own advantages such as simplicity for implementation or minimum arithmetic complexity. New efficient radix-3, odd radix-p FHT algorithms and short WDHT modules have been d...
