Pregnant Mare Serum Gonadotropin
Procedures have been developed for the purification of pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG) and its a and jl subunits. The procedure for the hormone purification involves three steps of column chromatography on Sephadex G-100, DEAE-Sephadex A-50, and hydroxyapatite. The preparation of subunits involves the dissociation of PMSG with 10 M urea followed by their separation by chromatography on ...
متن کاملBisphenol A Exposure during Adulthood Alters Expression of Aromatase and 5α-Reductase Isozymes in Rat Prostate
The high incidence of prostate cancer (PCa) and benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) in elderly men is a cause of increasing public health concern. In recent years, various environmental endocrine disruptors, such as bisphenol A (BPA), have been shown to disrupt sexual organs, including the prostate gland. However, the mechanisms underlying these effects remain unclear. Because androgens and estr...
متن کاملMetabolic Syndrome in the Pregnant Mare
Metabolic syndrome is a term drawing together a seemingly disparate set of clinical findings in human patients, these including insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and atherosclerosis. Obesity is a common but not consistent finding. The term has been subsequently applied to horses with obesity, insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia, and dyslipidemia. A chronic pro-i...
متن کاملA tale of two trials: The impact of 5α-reductase inhibition on prostate cancer (Review)
The use of 5α-reductase inhibitors (5α-RIs) as prostate cancer chemoprevention agents is controversial. Two large randomized trials, the Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial (PCPT) and the Reduction by Dutasteride of Prostate Cancer Events (REDUCE) Trial, have both shown a decreased incidence of prostate cancer in patients administered with 5α-RIs. Both studies showed, however, an increased risk of...
متن کاملA Multiscale, Mechanism-Driven, Dynamic Model for the Effects of 5α-Reductase Inhibition on Prostate Maintenance
A systems-level mathematical model is presented that describes the effects of inhibiting the enzyme 5α-reductase (5aR) on the ventral prostate of the adult male rat under chronic administration of the 5aR inhibitor, finasteride. 5aR is essential for androgen regulation in males, both in normal conditions and disease states. The hormone kinetics and downstream effects on reproductive organs asso...
