Androgen sulphate formation in male and female rats.
نویسنده
چکیده
1. After large doses of androsterone, epiandrosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone and testosterone, female rats excreted more of the dose conjugated with sulphuric acid than did the males. 2. Androgens were also incubated with liver slices from male and female rats. Slices from females conjugated androgens with sulphuric acid to a greater extent than did slices from males. 3. The amount of unchanged androgen present in the faeces of orally dosed animals was 4-35% of the dose.

A comparative study on pain sensation in morphine-dependent male and female rats in the presence and absence of gonads using formalin test
Various physiological parameters including level of sex steroids undergo alterations following chronic administration of morphine. In this study, the effect of chronic administration of morphine on phasic and tonic pain was studied in morphine-dependent male and female rats in the presence and absence of gonads using formalin test. In addition, for evaluation of differences in dependency, withd...
متن کاملEffects of Vanadyl Sulphate on Spermatogenesis in Male Rats
Background: It is known that vanadyl compounds are capable of alleviating hyperglycemia in streptozotocin induced diabetic rats. Objective: To examine the effect of vanadyl sulphate (VS) on spermatogenesis of male rats. Methods: Male rats (n=10) were administered 32 mg/kg/day of VS orally and 50 mEq/l NaCl (as drinking water) for one month. Meanwhile, 11 male rats, the control group, received ...
متن کاملRegulation of sexual odor preference by sex steroids in the posterodorsal medial amygdala in female rats.
Our previous study in male rats demonstrated that bilateral administration of flutamide, an androgen receptor (AR) antagonist, into the posterodorsal medial amygdala (MePD) increased the time sniffing male odors to as high as that sniffing estrous odors, eliminating the preference for estrous odors over male odors. This made us speculate that under blockade of AR in the MePD, testosterone-deriv...
متن کاملAndrogen Dependent Tumorigenesis in Rat Thyroid Gland Induced by Diisopropanolnitrosamine (DIPN) Administration
Employing diisopropanolnitrosamine (DIPN)-induced rat thyroid tumors as an experimental model, the possible role of androgen in thyroid carcinogenesis was examined. The rate of tumer induction was higher in male than female rats. In male rats, at 15 to 20 weeks after the final DIPN iajection, the thyroid glands were remarkably enlarged and were being replaced by carcinoma tissues. Castration of...
متن کاملEffects of androgens and estradiol on spine synapse formation in the prefrontal cortex of normal and testicular feminization mutant male rats.
Recent studies suggest that, in female monkeys and rats, estrogens elicit dendritic spine synapse formation in the prefrontal cortex, an area that, similar to the hippocampus, plays a critical role in cognition. However, whether gonadal hormones induce synaptic remodeling in the male prefrontal cortex remains unknown. Here we report that gonadectomy reduced, whereas administration of 5alpha-dih...
