Aromatase activity in the foetal rat testis was demonstrated by the conversion of [3H] testosterone into oestradiol. However, the conversion rate was low, around 0.06%, probably because the radioactive precursor was heavily diluted by the large amounts of endogenous testosterone

We have reported that 19-hydroxyandrostenedione (19-OH-A-dione) amplifies the sodium-retaining action of aldosterone. To evaluate whether it also amplifies the hypertensive action of small doses of aldosterone, mononephrectomized rats were given 0.5 mg aldosterone, 10 mg 19-OH-A-dione or a combination of

To verify the aldosterone amplifying action of 19-hydroxyandrostenedione (19-OH-AD), we investigated [3H]aldosterone and [3H]19-OH-AD binding to type I (mineralocorticoid) receptor in the renal cytosol of adrenalectomized and ovariectomized rat, and human mononuclear leucocytes (MNL). In the [3H]aldosterone binding study, the

Diabetes complicates 2-3% of all pregnancies and is associated with an increase in both perinatal morbidity and mortality, though reasons for these adverse outcomes are unknown. Estrogen biosynthesis is a critical factor during pregnancy and is carried out in the
