This study evaluated the effect of sinusoidal 50 Hz magnetic field on the basal and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)-stimulated testosterone (T) production of 48-h mouse Leydig cell culture. The luteinizing hormone (LH) analog hCG was used to check the T response of the controls and to evaluate th

The effects of exogenous testosterone enanthate, a long-acting testosterone ester, on estrous activity and reproductive performance in female rats were studied. An injection of 2.5-20.0 mg of testosterone enanthate delayed until 26.940.1 days the cycling of the estrous cycle in a dose-dependent way;
The effects of a thyroidectomy and thyroxine (T 4 ) replacement on the spontaneous and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)-stimulated secretion of testosterone and the production of adenosine 3Π,5Π-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) in rat testes were studied. Thyroidectomy decreased the basal levels of pla
Human chorionic gonadotropin is a glycoprotein hormone that, like LH, stimulates steroidogenesis in gonadal cells. Using a desialylation process, 95 per cent of the sialic acid residues from an intact standard hCG molecule were eliminated and then the electrophoretic properties and the bioactivity o
Acute effects and action mechanisms of prolactin (PRL) on aldosterone secretion in zona glomerulosa (ZG) cells were investigated in ovariectomized rats. Administration of ovine PRL (oPRL) increased aldosterone secretion in a dose-dependent manner. Incubation of [3H]-pregnenolone combined with oPRL i
The testosterone-repressive prostate message-2 (TRPM-2) variant mRNA lacking the exon 5 was induced in rat primary culture hepatocytes by heat shock treatment. A similar variant mRNA lacking exon 5 was also induced by heat shock treatment of the human culture cell line HepG2. On the other hand, in m
