Circulating levels of isoflavones and markers of 5alpha-reductase activity are higher in Japanese compared with New Zealand males: what is the role of circulating steroids in prostate disease?
Epidemiological evidence implicates dietary isoflavone intake as protective against prostate disease. A putative mechanism is attenuated circulating androgen levels in male populations consuming an isoflavone rich diet. We investigated this hypothesis by collecting plasma from 60 Japanese and 60 New Zealand males aged between 21 and 31 years each consuming their traditional diets. We measured p...
متن کاملEndogenous steroid concentrations in human breast tumours determined by high-resolution mass fragmentography.
A pilot study of the endogenous steroid concentrations in human breast tumours was performed. The technique of high-resolution molecular-ion monitoring during combined g.l.c.-mass spectrometry was used to determine oestrone, oestradiol-17beta and oestriol in concentrations above 1ng/g wet wt. of tissue, and dehydroepiandrosterone, testosterone, androsterone (3alpha-hydroxy-5alpha-androstan-17-o...
متن کاملAndrogen action on human skin -- from basic research to clinical significance.
Androgens affect several functions of the human skin, such as sebaceous gland growth and differentiation, hair growth, epidermal barrier homeostasis and wound healing. Their effects are mediated by binding to nuclear androgen receptors. Androgen activation and deactivation are mainly intracellular events. They differ from cell type to cell type and between cells at different locations. The majo...
متن کاملChronic cigarette smoking alters circulating sex hormones and neuroactive steroids in premenopausal women.
Chronic smoking alters the circulating levels of sex hormones and possibly also the neuroactive steroids. However, the data available is limited. Therefore, a broad spectrum of free and conjugated steroids and related substances was quantified by GC-MS and RIA in premenopausal smokers and in age-matched (38.9+/-7.3 years of age) non-smokers in the follicular (FP) and luteal phases (LP) of menst...
متن کاملMetabolism of testosterone- 14 C by cultured human cells.
The metabolism of (14)C-labeled testosterone by cultured human fibroblasts and amniotic fluid cells was investigated. Radiolabeled testosterone was incubated with the cultured cells for 48 hr, and the labeled metabolites present in the medium were subsequently identified. The major metabolic products of testosterone formed by cultured fibroblasts were Delta(4)-androstenedione, dihydrotestostero...
