## Abstract The Syrian hamster Harderian gland (HG) is an organ continually exposed to oxidative stress caused by high concentrations of porphyric metabolites. According to previous studies, melatonin, which is rhythmically secreted by the pineal gland and tonically produced by the HG, antagonizes

Cyproterone acetate, R 2956, Ro 7-2340 and Sch 13521 in the daily dose of 8 mg injected intramuscularly to castrated adult hamsters for 3 weeks were all found to significantly antagonize the stimulatory effect of exogenous testosterone propionate (80 microgram im, every other day) on the sebaceous g
## Abstract It has recently been reported that prednisone increases whereas dexamethasone and cortisone decrease insulin binding to monocytes, thus suggesting that different steroids may exert opposite effects on the insulin receptor, depending on their chemical structure. In order to gain further
The incidence of thromboembolic complications is increased in patients with oestrogen-treated prostatic carcinoma. Because reduced antithrombin-III (AT-III) levels are associated with increased risk of thromboembolism we have determined AT-III concentrations during oestrogen therapy and other treatm
Sexual differences on thyroxine 5'-deiodinase (5'-D) in the Harderian gland of Syrian hamsters were investigated. We compared the 24-h profile of 5'-D activity in male and female hamsters, observing a clear rhythm in males but not in females. Female values were always significantly higher than male
