Determining the timeline of gonadal and genital differentiation in male and female equine fetuses allows for early detection and intervention in malformations

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Sexual differentiation in the equine fetus involves coordinated morphogenetic processes that shape both the gonads and the genital ducts. Although the formation of testes and ovaries has been relatively well documented, the temporal dynamics and morphometric patterns of the mesonephric (Wolffian) and paramesonephric (Müllerian) ducts remain ...

Localized Prostate Cancer Therapy: Tumor Microenvironment‐Activated Spermine Hydrogel With Real‐Time Autonomous Fluorescence Sensing

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
First tumor microenvironment (TME)‐responsive spermine‐loaded hydrogel with autonomous sensing for advanced local therapy of prostate cancer (PCa) is developed. Spermine can be released from the hydrogel to kill the prostate cancer cells specifically under acidic TME.

Increased Insulin Action, Glucose Metabolism and Muscle Function in Supervillin‐Knockout and Supervillin‐Mutant Mice

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We here describe mouse models with complementary homozygous Svil mutations. In skeletal muscle, Svil‐Mut mice express the Svil‐encoded N‐terminus fused to the βgal‐neo gene‐trap tag and lack the highly conserved archvillin C‐terminus; Svil‐KO mice lack expression of all known Svil‐encoded proteins; and Svil‐LoxP mice contain loxP sites for ...

Spotlight on a New Heme Oxygenase Pathway: Testosterone-Induced Shifts in Cardiac Oxidant/Antioxidant Status

Antioxidants, 2019
A low testosterone level contributes to the development of oxidative damages; however, the cardiovascular effects of exogenous hormone therapy are not well elucidated. The aim of our work is to study the association of the testosterone level, antioxidant/

A Single‐Aliquot Strategy for Simultaneous Carbon Isotope Confirmation of 6‐Oxo‐Androstenedione and Testosterone Misuse in Doping Control

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
This method enables simultaneous carbon isotope confirmation of 6‐oxo‐androstenedione and testosterone markers from a single urine aliquot, using bench‐top extraction, two preparative HPLC steps with intermediate acetylation, and GC/C/IRMS analysis. It was fully validated according to WADA requirements, and real samples demonstrated its fitness for ...

Testosterone Replacement Therapy

, 2018
Male hypogonadism (HG) can be defined according to its etiology as primary (pHG) when caused by any diseases affecting the testes, or as secondary (sHG) when due to a pituitary or hypothalamic dysfunction. Both fertility and testosterone (T) can be theoretically restored in sHG by removing the precipitating cause and/or by appropriate endocrine therapy.
