چکیده
The estrogen receptor was characterized in a new transplantable mammary tumor line (MXT) which was induced by urethan treatment in C57BL x DBAf F, mice. The tumor is a ductal papillary carcinoma that is ovarian dependent. Treat ment of ovariectomized mice with estradiol benzoate results in rapid growth of the tumor. Cytoplasmic and nuclearbound estrogen receptors were measured by the charcoal adsorption exchange assay and by the [3H]estradiol ex

متن کاملEstrogen-induced mammary fibroadenoma in a lamb: hormonal and immunohistochemical aspects
A fibroadenoma was diagnosed in the mammary gland of a lamb by immunohistochemical method andmeasurement of oestradiol hormone. The tumor was characterized by an encapsulated firm mass with acreamy-white cut surface. Histologically, it consisted of variably-sized sinus ducts, covered by a single ormultiple layers of proliferated epithelial cells, and embedded in a loose connective tissue. Immun...
متن کاملCharacterization of Estrogen-binding Proteins in Variants of a Rat Mammary Tumor1
Estrogen-binding proteins have been characterized in variants of the MTW-9B rat mammary tumor in an attempt to determine the functional significance of the low affinity cytosolic estrogen binder. In vivo selection of tumor variants was carried out by transplant of the tumor into intact and castrated male and female Wistar-Furth rats for four or five succes sive transplant generations. Tumors th...
متن کاملCharacterization of androgen receptors in 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)-anthracene-induced and transplantable rat mammary tumors.
Androgenreceptorshave been documentedand char acterized in the 7,12-dimethybbenz(a)anthracene-induced rat mammarytumor and in a series of transplantablerat mammary tumors, (MTW-9A, MTW-9B, and MTW-9D). In all cases specific binding of [3H]dihydrotestosterone (DHT) to tumor cytosol was saturable, and Scatchard analysisshoweda singleclassof high-affinity,bow-capac ity binding sites. Bound [3HJDHT...
متن کاملP-119: Melatonin Protects Folliculogenesis through Up-Regulation of Estrogen Receptors in Mouse under Treatment with Nicotine
Background: Melatonin as the major hormone produced by the pineal gland has a significant role in mammalian reproduction. In this study the efficacy of melatonin coadministration with nicotine on mouse follicogenesis was investigated. Materials and Methods: A total of 32 Female adult NMRI mice were divided into four groups. The control group (n=8) received vehicle, group 2 (n=8) received nicoti...
