Actions différentielles de xéno-hormones alimentaires sur les organes reproducteurs, le foie et le tissu adipeux chez le rat femelle : aspects endocr…

Differential actions of dietary xenohormones on the reproductive organs, the liver and the adipose tissue in the female rat : endocrine, metabolic and morphogenetic aspects regarding the carcinogenic process. Over the past décades, the incidence of hormone-dependent cancers has dramatically increased in Western countries as compared to Asian countries. Environmental and dietary compounds able to mimic and interfère with endogenous hormones, especially reproductive ones, may be involved and among these xenohormones. xenoestrogens (XE) are particularly pointed at. The objective of this thesis was to détermine the conséquences of chronic dietary exposure to phytoestrogens and chemical xenoestr…
Transferrin gene expression in the mammary gland of the rat. The enhancing effect of 17 beta-oestradiol on the level of RNA is tissue-specific.
1993
We have investigated the physiological factors which regulate transferrin gene expression in the mammary gland of the rat. Our studies by dot blot analysis have demonstrated that multiple doses of 17β-oestradiol (OE2; 0·5 mg/kg per day for 3 days) elicit a specific 3·5-fold increase in the transferrin mRNA levels in the mammary glands of virgin rats. The hormonal action of OE2 in mammary tissue was specific for the transferrin gene, as judged by hybridization with β-actin cDNA. The accmulation of transferrin mRNA induced by OE2 treatment was similar to the developmentally regulated expression of the gene observed during the reproductive cycle. The steady-state level of mammary transferrin m…
Menopause modulates the circulating metabolome: evidence from a prospective cohort study
2022
Abstract Aims We studied the changes in the circulating metabolome and their relation to the menopausal hormonal shift in 17β-oestradiol and follicle-stimulating hormone levels among women transitioning from perimenopause to early postmenopause. Methods and results We analysed longitudinal data from 218 Finnish women, 35 of whom started menopausal hormone therapy during the study. The menopausal transition was monitored with menstrual diaries and serum hormone measurements. The median follow-up was 14 months (interquartile range: 8–20). Serum metabolites were quantified with targeted nuclear magnetic resonance metabolomics. The model results were adjusted for age, follow-up duration, educat…
Early endocrine disruptors exposure acts on 3T3-L1 differentiation and endocrine activity
2017
International audience; Introduction: Data from last years suggested that early exposure to endocrine disruptors (EDs) can predispose newborns to endocrine dysfunction of adipocytes, obesity, and associated disorders. The implication of EDs at low doses on adipocyte development has been poorly investigated. For instance, vinclozolin (V) is a dicarboximide fungicide widely used in agriculture since the 90's, alone or in mixture with genistein (G), an isoflavonoid from Leguminosae. This study aims to identify the effect of vinclozolin alone or with genistein, on adipose tissue properties using cell culture.Methods: In steroid-free conditions, 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes were induced to differentiat…
