Distribution of androstenedione and its effects on total free fatty acids in pregnant rats.

Only registered users can translate articles

Androstenedione, an anabolic steroid used to enhance athletic performance, was administered in corn oil by gastric intubation once daily in the morning to nonpregnant female rats at a dose of 5 or 60 mg/kg/day, beginning two weeks before mating and continuing through gestation day (GD) 19. On GD 20,

Maternal exposure to androstenedione does not induce developmental toxicity in the rat.

Only registered users can translate articles

Thirty-day old female rats received corn oil or androstenedione (in corn oil) at one of four concentrations (5.0, 10.0, 30.0 or 60.0 mg/kg body weight) by gavage for two weeks prior to mating, during the mating period and until gestation day (GD) 19. Caesarean sections were performed on GD 20. No

Effects of androstenedione on in utero development in rats.

Only registered users can translate articles

This study was conducted to characterize the effect of androstenedione on estrous cyclicity, mating behavior and fetal development. Thirty-day old rats received corn oil alone or androstenedione (in corn oil) at one of four concentrations (0, 1.0, 5.0, 10.0 or 30.0 mg/kg body weight) by gavage for

Hepatotoxicity of androstenedione in pregnant rats.

Only registered users can translate articles

Androstenedione, a naturally occurring steroid hormone, is a dietary supplement used to enhance athletic performance. Little is known, however, about the safety of its use by young adults including women of child bearing age. To test the possible hepatotoxic effects of androstenedione use, this

Administration of testosterone from day 13 of the estrous cycle to estrus increased the number of corpora lutea and conceptus survival in gilts.

Only registered users can translate articles

The effects of exogenous androgens on the number of corporea lutea (CL) and conceptus survival were examined in crossbred gilts. In Exp. 1, gilts received 1 mg of testosterone per day from d 13 (d = 0 first day of estrus, n = 21) or d 16 until estrus (n = 23). Gilts in the vehicle group received

Alteration in ovarian gene expression in response to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin: reduction of cyclooxygenase-2 in the blockage of ovulation.

Only registered users can translate articles

2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is a reproductive toxicant and endocrine disrupter that is known to block ovulation. This study was designed to investigate alterations in relevant ovarian genes that may be involved in the blockage of ovulation by TCDD in immature intact rats primed with

Effects of androgens on serum concentrations of gonadotropins and ovarian steroids in gilts.

Only registered users can translate articles

To examine how androgens affect endocrine events associated with increased ovulation rate, gilts were injected with androgen receptor agonists, an antagonist, or a combination of both. Blood samples were collected hourly from Day 13 to estrus (Day 0 = onset of estrus) coincident with gilts (n = 6

Prepubertal administration of estradiol valerate disrupts cyclicity and leads to cystic ovarian morphology during adult life in the rat: role of sympathetic innervation.

Only registered users can translate articles

Administration of estradiol valerate (EV) to adult rats leads to anovulation and cystic ovarian morphology. Sympathetic ovarian nerve denervation (SONX) overcomes this disruption. In this study, we determined whether EV administration to juvenile rats prevents achievement of reproductive competence,

A transcriptome approach evaluating effects of neonatal androgen and anti-androgen treatments on regulation of luteal function in sexually mature pigs.

Only registered users can translate articles

The current study was designed to gain insights into regulatory mechanisms mediating long-term effects of androgen excess or deficiency on corpus luteum function in pigs. Piglets were injected subcutaneously with testosterone propionate (TP, an androgen), flutamide (FLU, an anti-androgen) or corn

Altered gene profiles in fetal rat testes after in utero exposure to di(n-butyl) phthalate.

Only registered users can translate articles

Di(n-butyl) phthalate (DBP) has antiandrogenic-like effects on the developing reproductive tract in the male rat and produces regions of interstitial cell hyperplasia and gonocyte degeneration in the developing fetal testes at maternal doses of 100-500 mg/kg/day. Neither DBP nor its primary
