Haemopoietic effects of 7 alpha, 17 beta dimethyltestosterone.
1979
Some haematic parameters were investigated in female COBS mice treated with 7 alpha, 17 beta Dimethyltestcsterone (DMT). The drug causes an increase of circulating platelets in normal mice. Bone marrow graft from DMT-treated donors facilitates in irradiated mice repopulation of white blood cells and platelets but lowers % survival. These data are interpreted on the basis of a commitment and a loss of self-maintenance induced by DMT on CFUs compartment. © 1979 The Italian Pharmacological Society.
Detection of a synthetic sex steroid in the American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus): Evidence for a novel environmental androgen
2017
Endocrine-disrupting contaminants (EDC's) are well known to alter sexual differentiation among vertebrates via estrogenic effects during development, particularly in organisms characterized by temperature-dependent sex determination. However, substances producing androgenic effects typically lack potency when tested in laboratory settings and are virtually unstudied in field settings. Here, we assay levels of a synthetic androgen, 17a-methyltestosterone (MT), in a heavily male-biased population of American crocodiles in the Tempisque River Basin of Costa Rica based on the recent hypothesis that this chemical is an EDC in developing crocodilian embryos. The presence of MT was documented in a…
Resolution of mixtures of steroidal hormones with micellar eluents of sodium dodecyl sulphate and acetonitrile or pentanol
2000
An optimization strategy was applied to explore the capability of hybrid micellar eluents of sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), using acetonitrile or pentanol as modifiers, to resolve mixtures of eleven steroids showing a wide range of hydrophobicity (clostebol acetate, dehydrotestosterone, dydrogesterone, medroxyprogesterone, medroxyprogesterone acetate, methandienone, methyltestosterone, progesterone, testosterone, testosterone enanthate and testosterone propionate). The accurate prediction of the retention behaviour of the steroids, with relative errors in the 0.8–1.7% and 0.4–2.9% ranges for SDS-acetonitrile and SDS-pentanol eluents, respectively, demonstrated the reliability of the methodo…
Retention-structure relationship studies for some steroidal hormones in micellar liquid chromatography
2000
The retention behavior in a C18 column of fourteen steroidal hormones (clostebol acetate, dehydrotestosterone, dydrogesterone, medroxyprogesterone, medroxyprogesterone acetate, methandienone, methyltestosterone, nandrolone, nandrolone decanoate, progesterone, testosterone, testosterone enanthate, testosterone propionate and, stanozolol) with pure micellar mobile phases prepared from sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), and hybrid mobile phases comprising SDS-acetonitrile and SDS-pentanol, was correlated with their octanol-water partition coefficients. Similar correlations were found with retention data obtained by other authors in gas chromatography, conventional reversed-phase liquid chromatograp…
DETERMINATION OF STEROIDAL HORMONES IN URINE SAMPLES BY MICELLAR LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY FOLLOWING SOLID-PHASE EXTRACTION
2001
Steroidal hormones were determined in spiked urine samples using micellar mobile phases of sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS)-pentanol, solid-phase extraction (SPE), and detection in the UV region. In the optimized procedure, a 10 mL aliquot of urine sample is loaded into a C18 cartridge and washed with 2 mL of 50:50 (v/v) methanol-water, followed by 200 μL of 70:30 (v/v) methanol-water. The retained steroids are eluted with 2 mL of methanol and the eluate evaporated to dryness under nitrogen at 50°C. The residue is redissolved with 200 μL of the micellar mobile phase used in the chromatographic separation and injected into the chromatograph. The performance of the procedure was checked for 13 s…
SENSITIZED LANTHANIDE FLUORESCENCE DETECTION OF STEROIDAL HORMONES
2000
Several steroidal hormones with an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl group sensitized the fluorescence of terbium(III) ions: medroxyprogesterone, medroxyprogesterone acetate, methyltestosterone, nandrolone, nandrolone decanoate, progesterone, testosterone, testosterone enanthate, and testosterone propionate, but other steroids which have this chromophore did not give any signal: clostebol acetate, dehydrotestosterone, dydrogesterone, methandienone, and methenolone enanthate. Sensitized fluorescence was used to detect the steroids when eluted with micellar mobile phases of sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS)-acetonitrile and SDS-pentanol containing 0.01 M Tb(III), with 245 nm and 545 nm as excitation and e…
Tissue bioaccumulation patterns, xenobiotic biotransformation and steroid hormone levels in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) fed a diet containing perfl…
2011
In the present study, groups of juvenile Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) were fed gelatine capsules containing fish-food spiked with PFOA or PFOS (0.2 mg kg(-1) fish) and solvent (methanol). The capsules were given at days 0, 3 and 6. Blood, liver and whole kidney samples were collected prior to exposure (no solvent control), and at days 2, 5, 8 and 14 after exposure (Note: that day 14 after exposure is equal to 7d recovery period). We report on the differences in the tissue bioaccumulation patterns of PFOS and PFOA, in addition to tissue and compound differences in modulation pattern of biotransformation enzyme genes. We observed that the level of PFOS and PFOA increased in the blood, liver …
