Two studies were conducted to determine the passage of testosterone, testosterone propionate and testosterone enanthate through silastic implants and to determine the retention of the three hormones once they enter the blood. In the first experimental, ovariectomized ewes with implants containing testosterone propionate and ewes with implants containing testosterone enanthate had higher levels of plasma testosterone than ewes with implants containing testosterone. Testosterone enanthate implants released more hormone during the 13-day period than the testosterone propionate and testosterone implants and testosterone propionate implants released more hormone than testosterone implants. In the second experiment, concentrations of plasma testosterone were elevated longer for ovariectomized ewes intravenously administered testosterone propionate, than ewes receiving testosterone or testosterone enanthate intravenously. 相似文献

A mixture of testosterone-4-14C and testosterone-1,2-3H-17-glucosiduronate was intraperitoneally administered into male and female rats with bile fistulas. Biliary metabolites were separated and purififd by a combination of column chromatography, enzymic hydrolysis or solvolysis of the conjugate fractions and identification of the liberated aglycones. The injected steroids were extensively metabolized and excreted predominantly in the blue. 5β-Androstane-3α, 17β-diol was found principally in monoglucosiduronate fraction and was produced preferentially from the injected conjugate in both sexes. Very marked sex differences from the injected conjugate in both sexes. Very marked sex differences were observed in the following metabolites: Androsterone was present only in the female as monoglucosidironate, which was preferentially derived from testosterone. 5α-Androstane-3α,17β-diol was identified in both monoglucosiduronate and diconjugate fractions of the female, which was formed significanrly more from the conjugate than testosterone. These findings provide evidence that testosterone glucosiduronate could be converted directly into 5α-steroids as well as 5β-ones . In marked contrast, the major portion of testosterone was metabolized to polar steroids in the male. 相似文献

1. A new highly sensitive and accurate ultramicro method for the estimation of testosterone in human peripheral plasma is described. The method uses paper-and thin-layer-chromatographic separation of plasma testosterone, which is determined as testosterone diheptafluorobutyrate by electron-capture detection after gas-liquid chromatography. 2. The average difference between duplicates is +/-2% (range 1-5%) with as little as 2.5ml. of human male peripheral plasma. With 10ml. of plasma the method is sensitive enough for the accurate determination of testosterone in human female plasma. The high order of accuracy is achieved by the use of a radioactive label and an internal standard for gas chromatography, and by obtaining several gas chromatograms from the same plasma sample. 3. As little as 40mumug. of peripheral plasma testosterone can be detected. The method is 20 times as sensitive as electron-capture techniques with the monochloroacetate derivative. 4. The method is simpler and quicker than double-isotope-derivative methods, and slightly more sensitive. The advantages of the method, which is specific for testosterone, are its high sensitivity and accuracy, which are achieved with relative convenience. 相似文献

Two gilts were administered testosterone propionate and their subsequent plasma testosterone concentrations and male sex behavior were recorded. These were compared to testosterone concentrations and male sex behavior in boars. Testosterone propionate (75 mg) was administered to the gilts every other day for 20 days (induction scheme) and every 10 days there-after (maintenance scheme). Concentrations of testosterone in plasma were elevated to concentrations detected in the boars during the induction scheme. During the maintenance scheme, concentrations of testosterone appeared to be lower than in boars. At 20, 30 and 40 days following the first injection, sniffing, nosing and mating song behaviors were exhibited by the testosterone treated gilts similar in frequency to the boars. Mounting behavior was first detected 30 days following the first testosterone propionate injection, and by day 40, the frequency of mounting was greater than observed in boars. 相似文献

A liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry assay for serum testosterone (T) and trideuterated testosterone (d(3)T) was developed in order to support clinical research studies that determine the pharmacokinetics, production rate, and clearance of testosterone by administration of trideuterated testosterone. After adding 19-nortestosterone as the internal standard (I.S.), sodium acetate buffer, and ether, to a serum aliquot, the mixture was shaken and centrifuged, and the ether was dried. The extract was reconstituted in methanol and 15 microl was injected into a liquid chromatograph equipped with an autosampler and Applied Biosystems-Sciex API 300 triple quadrupole mass spectrometer operated in the positive ion mode. T, d(3)T, and I.S. were monitored with transitions m/z 289 to m/z 97, m/z 292 to m/z 97, and m/z 275 to m/z 109, respectively. The two calibration curves were linear over the entire measurement range of 0-20 ng/ml for T and 0-2.0 ng/ml for d(3)T. The LOQs for T and d(3)T were 0.5 ng/ml and 0.05 ng/ml. The recoveries for T and d(3)T were 91.5 and 96.4%. For T at 1.25 ng/ml and 4.0 ng/ml, the intra-day precision (RSD, %) was 3.9 and 4.3% and intra-day accuracy 0.01 and 4.5%, respectively. The inter-day precision at these levels was 5.3 and 5.4% and inter-day accuracy was 1.9 and 0.3%. For d(3)T at 0.125 ng/ml and 0.4 ng/ml, the intra-day precision (RSD, %) was 2.8 and 8.3% and intra-day accuracy was 1.8 and 5.6%. The inter-day precision at these levels was 10.0 and 7.6% and inter-day accuracy was 5.7 and 3.4%. The concentrations of T in the 38 healthy subjects ranged from 2.5 to 14.0 ng/ml (mean 6.2 ng/ml). 相似文献

The effect of exogenous testosterone on endogenous plasma testosterone was studied in normal men. Intramuscularly administered testosterone-19,19,19-d3 rapidly appeared in the systemic circulation in large amounts. Endogenous plasma testosterone was suppressed to near-castrate levels. The suppressed level began to rise between 6 and 10 h, and reached a preinjection level at 24 h after the injection. Plasma LH decreased with a concomitant decrease in endogenous testosterone and began to rise as soon as plasma total testosterone returned to physiological levels. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: In animals, fetal testosterone (fT) plays a central role in organizing the brain and in later social behavior. In humans, exposure to atypical levels of prenatal androgens may result in masculine behavior and ability patterns. Normal inter-individual variation in fT levels has also been correlated with later sex-typed behavior. METHODS: In the current study, 38 children (24 male, 14 female), whose fT was analyzed in amniotic fluid, were followed up at age 4. They were asked to describe cartoons with 2 moving triangles whose interactions with each other suggested social relationships and psychological motivations. RESULTS: Females used more mental and affective state terms to describe the cartoons than males. fT was not associated with the frequency of mental or affective state terms. Females also used more intentional propositions than males. fT was negatively correlated with the frequency of intentional propositions, taking sex differences into account. fT was also negatively correlated with the frequency of intentional propositions when males were examined separately. Males used more neutral propositions than females. fT was directly correlated with the frequency of neutral propositions, taking sex differences into account. This relationship was not seen when males and females were examined separately. CONCLUSIONS: These findings implicate fT in human social development. The relevance of our findings to the 'extreme male brain' theory of autism is also discussed. 相似文献

Clinical and andrological-spermatological investigations in male beagles revealed the status of the gonads before and after fistulating the vas deferens.When semen samples were collected reqularly, no siqnificant differences could be observed in comparison to ejaculates before surgical intervention, as judged by spermatological parameters. Only an increased incidence of immature spermatic cells was found. Changes in the gonads and spermatozoa respectively were found in animals with irregular collection of spermatozoa via fistula which induced irrep-arable occlusion of the fistula and subsequent spermio-stasis.Insemination of beagle bitches with spermatozoa from fistulae led to fertilisation of 3 animals from the group of 4. 相似文献

Unconjugated testosterone levels were assayed in 351 amniotic fluid samples obtained at 15-19 weeks gestation. The median values for unconjugated testosterone in the 166 female foetuses and 185 male foetuses were 137 and 712 pmol/l respectively. Sixteen amniotic fluid samples from male foetuses had unconjugated testosterone levels lower than the highest female unconjugated testosterone value (361 pmol/l). Testosterone glucuronide was measured in amniotic fluid from 48 female and 55 male foetuses. There was a significant sex difference in the median values of testosterone glucuronide between female (median 160 pmol/l, range 64-465 pmol/l) and male (median 817 pmol/l, range 68-3707 pmol/l) amniotic fluid specimens (P less than 0.001). Of the sixteen male foetuses with amniotic fluid unconjugated testosterone levels in the female range, 12 had amniotic fluid testosterone glucuronide levels within the male testosterone glucuronide range of values. Hence used in conjunction with unconjugated testosterone, testosterone glucuronide increased the predictive accuracy of foetal sexing from 95.4 to 98.9%. Testosterone sulphate was measured in 24 female and 25 male amniotic fluid samples. There was no Testosterone sulphate was measured in 24 female and 25 male amniotic fluid samples. There was no significant difference between female (median 2591 pmol/l) and male (median 2964 pmol/l) testosterone sulphate levels. 相似文献

Intestinal passage time of coloured fodder and testosterone turnover were examined by faecal steroid analysis in mallards in the reproductive and postrefractory period. In the latter, the discharge of coloured fodder began 36 minutes after ingestion in males, and 56 minutes in females. During reproduction the discharge began 93 minutes and 112 minutes after ingestion in males and females, respectively. Total passage time was similar in the reproductive and postrefractory period in both sexes. After intraperitoneal testosterone injection, faecal samples were collected for 8 hours and testosterone levels were measured using RIA. In the postrefractory period, 1-2 hours after testosterone loading a strong increase of faecal testosterone content developed in males, meanwhile a slighter testosterone peak appeared in females. During reproduction testosterone excretion began 1.5-2 hours after injection in both sexes but in females its increase was smaller. The duration of response to testosterone loading was 5 hours in both periods and both sexes. Intensive excretion after T loading appeared earlier in males than in females, but total passage time finished at the same time: 5 hours after loading. The character of testosterone excretion was corresponding to the passage of fodder-chimus-faeces in the reproductive and postrefractory period in both sexes. 相似文献

Administration of 80 or 160 micrograms testosterone oenanthate s.c. three times per week for 8 or 12 weeks reduced testis weight and increased seminal vesicle weight in mice. Radioimmunoassay indicated that treatment increased serum testosterone concentrations. Treatment with testosterone oenanthate decreased the number of step 16 and step 7 spermatids, pachytene spermatocytes and type A spermatogonia, and particularly reduced the proportion of step 7 spermatids which matured to form step 16 spermatids. 相似文献

Neonatal female NMRI mice (n = 16) were treated with 5 micrograms diethylstilbestrol (DES) per day, for the first 5 days after birth and killed postpubertally. Control females (n = 52) were injected with vehicle only and killed in different stages of the estrous cycle. The plasma testosterone level was significantly lower in DES females than in control females in any of the estrous phases. Ovariectomy (n = 5), adrenalectomy (n = 5) or a combination of both ablations (n = 3) did not affect the plasma testosterone in DES treated females while it was significantly reduced in control females (ovariectomy n = 5; adrenalectomy n = 9); most effective was the combination ovariectomy-adrenalectomy (n = 7). Ovarian homogenates from DES treated females (n = 10) had a significantly lower testosterone content than homogenates from control females in any phase of the estrous cycle (6-10 females per phase), which held true on both a per ovary basis and when related to ovarian weight. After a 2 h incubation in vitro, the testosterone levels had increased significantly in DES homogenates (n = 6) and to a lower extent in homogenates from control females in estrus (n = 9). No similar effect was found in homogenates from diestrus (n = 10) or proestrus (n = 9) females. The results are discussed in relation to the special ovarian morphology of adult but neonatally DES treated females and also with respect to endocrine control mechanisms. 相似文献
