research Anticancer Drugs in Surface Waters
Anticancer drugs are increasingly found in surface waters, and their long-term environmental effects are not well understood, requiring better testing methods.
research Fadrozole And Finasteride Exposures Modulate Sex Steroid- And Thyroid Hormone-Related Gene Expression In Silurana (Xenopus) Tropicalis Early Larval Development
Fadrozole and finasteride change gene expression related to sex hormones and thyroid hormones in frog larvae development.
research The Aromatase Inhibitor Fadrozole and the 5-Reductase Inhibitor Finasteride Affect Gonadal Differentiation and Gene Expression in the Frog Silurana Tropicalis
Fadrozole and Finasteride change frog sex ratios and cause intersex animals with altered gene expressions.
research Consequences of Steroid-5α-Reductase Deficiency and Inhibition in Vertebrates
Lack or blocking of SRD5a, a key component in hormone creation, can lead to conditions like pseudohermaphrodism and affect hair growth, bone mass, muscle strength, and reproductive health. More research is needed on its regulation from fertilization to adulthood.
research Exposure of Xenopus Laevis Tadpoles to Finasteride, an Inhibitor of 5-Alpha Reductase Activity, Impairs Spermatogenesis and Alters Hypophyseal Feedback Mechanisms
Finasteride exposure harms tadpole reproduction and hormone balance.
research Early Embryonic Exposure of Freshwater Gastropods to Pharmaceutical 5-Alpha-Reductase Inhibitors Results in a Surprising Open-Coiled 'Banana-Shaped' Shell
Certain drugs change freshwater snail shells to a "banana" shape.
research Thyroid Hormones and Androgens Differentially Regulate Gene Expression in Testes and Ovaries of Sexually Mature Silurana Tropicalis
Thyroid hormones and androgens affect gene expression in frog reproductive organs differently between males and females.
research Role of 5α-Dihydrotestosterone in Testicular Development of Gilthead Seabream Following Finasteride Administration
DHT affects testicular development and regulates spermatogenesis in some fish.
research Transcriptomic Profiling in Silurana Tropicalis Testes Exposed to Finasteride
Finasteride affects frog testes by increasing testosterone, decreasing 5α-DHT, and impacting genes related to reproduction and other functions.
research Evaluation of the 5α-Reductase Inhibitor Finasteride on Reproduction and Gonadal Development in Medaka, Oryzias Latipes
Finasteride negatively affects fish reproduction and gonadal development.
research Development of a Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry-Based Inhibition Assay for Screening Steroid 5-Alpha Reductase in Human and Fish Cell Lines
A new method was created to test the effectiveness of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) inhibitors, like finasteride and dutasteride, in human and fish cells. The results showed fish cells are more sensitive to these treatments, and dutasteride works better than finasteride in all tested cells.
research Cloning, Computational Analysis and Expression Profiling of Steroid 5 Alpha-Reductase 1 (SRD5A1) Gene During Reproductive Phases and Ovatide Stimulation in Endangered Catfish, Clarias Magur
The research identified and described a gene important for hormone conversion in endangered catfish, which varies in activity during different reproductive stages and after hormone treatment.
research Toxicity of the Pharmaceuticals Finasteride and Melengestrol Acetate to Benthic Invertebrates
Finasteride harms invertebrates' survival and burial ability.
research Saccharomyces Cerevisiae BLYAS, A New Bioluminescent Bioreporter For Detection Of Androgenic Compounds
The engineered yeast strain BLYAS can quickly and sensitively detect androgenic chemicals.
research Triclocarban, Triclosan, Bromochlorophene, Chlorophene, and Climbazole Effects on Nuclear Receptors: An In Silico and In Vitro Study
Five preservatives may disrupt hormone function and need more health and environmental risk assessment.
research The Implication of Neuroactive Steroids in Tourette's Syndrome Pathogenesis: A Role for 5α-Reductase?
Neuroactive steroids and the enzyme 5α-reductase might be involved in the development of Tourette's syndrome.
research Histological and Gene Expression Analysis of the Effects of Menopause Status and Hormone Therapy on the Vaginal Introitus and Labia Majora
Menopause causes significant changes in the vaginal introitus, but less so in the labia majora, which may lead to symptoms of vaginal atrophy.
