Zearalenone is an estrogenic mycotoxin that often contaminates plant material used in the production of feeds for companion animals. Small daily doses of ingested zearalenone--a competitive substrate modulating the activity of enzymes participating in estrogen biosynthesis at the pre-receptor level--can induce subclinical symptoms of hyperestrogenism in bitches. The objective of this study was ...

Hepatic cirrhosis is commonly associated with hyperestrogenism. Previous studies have reported morphologic changes in benign and malignant prostate tissue exposed to estrogen or anti-androgens. To our knowledge, histopathologic features of prostatic adenocarcinoma in patients with cirrhosis have not been well-reported. We present a case of incidental, but pathologically significant, prostatic a...

The patient had no involvement of the myometrium, cervix, or extra-uterine sites. There were no intestinal met...

Oestrogens are not exclusive to the female gender but occur in moderate circulating levels of 25-70 pg ml⁻¹ in men, compared to 44-153 pg ml⁻¹ in women. Arising from aromatisation of testosterone (T), oestrogen is considered to have many opposing physiological functions and the progressive T decline in the aging male is associated with relative and/or absolute increase in serum oestradiol (E₂)....
