Synthesis and chemical reactions of the steroidal hormone 17α-methyltestosterone.
Structural modifications of natural products with complex structures like steroids require great synthetic effort. A review of literature is presented on the chemistry of the steroidal hormone 17α-methyltestosterone that is approved by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States as an androgen for estrogen-androgen hormone replacement therapy treatment. The analog also offers specia...
متن کاملMasculinization of Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) through Immersion in 17α- Methyltestosterone or 17α-Methyldihydrotestosterone
One of the most common techniques for producing mono-sex populations is steroid-induced sex inversion. This involves the administration of synthetic androgens (to produce male populations) or estrogens (to produce female populations). Several methods of steroid administration are possible, including injection, microencapsulation, feeding of steroid, and immersion of fry in steroid solutions. Th...
متن کاملSex Reversal of Tilapia: 17α-Methyltestosterone Dose Rate by Environment and Efficacy of Bull Testes
Sex reversal of newly hatched tilapia generally is accomplished via oral administration of 17α-methyltestosterone (MT), which has been incorporated into a starter fish feed at 60 mg MT/kg feed (Popma and Green, 1990). Although the use of the 60 mg MT/kg feed dose consistently yields populations comprised of less than 5% females (i.e., > 95% males), this has not been shown to be the optimal dose...
متن کاملInduction of Primary Male in Juvenile Red Spotted Grouper Epinephelus akaara by Immersion of 17α-Methyltestosterone
We investigated the androgenic effects of 17α- methyltestosterone (MT) on gonadal sex reversal in juvenile red spotted grouper Epinephelus akaara. The fish were immersed in 17α-MT at 1 and 5 mg/L. Treatment method of 17α-MT was once weekly for 4 and 8 weeks. Fish were sampled at 12 months after end of the treatment period in order to histological analysis. At the initiation of an experiment (70...
متن کاملEffects of 17α-methyltestosterone on the reproduction of the freshwater snail Biomphalaria glabrata.
17-α-methyltestosterone (MT) is a synthetic hormone used in fish hatcheries to induce male monosex. Snails hold promise as possible test models to assess chemicals acting on the endocrine system. Biomphalaria glabrata is an aquatic gastropod mollusk (Pulmonata, Planorbidae) that can be easily maintained in aquaria, predisposing the species for use in ecotoxicological testing. This study evaluat...
