  • The aims of present study were to compare the effects of in utero exposure to diethylstibestrol (DES), di(n-butyl)phthalate (DBP) and flutamide on the development of reproductive organs and to investigate the specific mechanisms of these abnormalities in the male reproductive system.During gestation days 10-19, pregnant Sparague-Dawley (SD) female rats were administered orally with corn oil (control), DES (25, 50, or 100 ${\mu}$/kg/day), (omitted)

  • These experiments tested whether exposure to benomyl (BN) or lindane (LD) during late pregnancy affect the development of reproductive tract in adult offspring. Timed pregnant Sprague Dawley rats (N=7∼8/treatment) were gavaged with LD (1, 5, or 10 mg/kg), BN (50, 250, or 500 mg/kg), or com oil on gestation days 15∼19.(omitted)

  • The aims of present study were to compare the effects of in utero exposure of several chemicals which have antiandrogenic characteristics on the development of reproductive organs and to investigate the specific mechanisms related to the abnormalities observed in the male reproductive system.(omitted)

  • Zinc is known to have an inhibitory effect on apoptosis and an antioxidative effect scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) under oxidative stress. We studied the influence of zinc on cadmium-induced apoptosis especially associated with ROS in MCF-7 human breast carcinoma cell line. For the determination of appropriate experimental concentration and time, we excecuted MTT [3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide] assay and DNA fragmentation assay.

  • Ketoconazole is a well-studied drug that blocks fungal growth and testosterone synthesis in humans and rodents by inhibiting the activity of cytochrome P-450 enzymes. But there were no reports that ketoconazole affects on enzymes related to degradation of testosterone. Aromatase converts testosterone to estradiol. Change of aromatase protein level may destroy hormone homeostasis. (omitted)
