(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans are environmental contaminants which elicit a number of toxic and biochemical effects including immunotoxicity, hepatic microsomal monooxygenase induction and enodcrine ...
-
(2011-10-21)Natural and synthetic estrogens are some of the most potent hormones detected in the environment. Agriculture fields often release higher concentrations of natural estrogens to the environment, but wastewater treatment ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)The endogenous hormones estrone and 17ò-estradiol support vertebrate growth and development, but slight increases above ambient concentrations may paradoxically induce endocrine disruption, leading to increased frequencies ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1988)The competitive receptor binding affinities of thirteen 2- substituted-3,7,8-trichlorodibenzo-p-dioxins to hepatic cytosol from rat, mouse, guinea pig and hamster were determined using [3H]- 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin ...
-
(2011-01-11)Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. The pathogenesis of this disease is not fully understood, but it is thought to be triggered by viral infection during ...
-
(2011-10-21)Moderate energy restriction in young, exercising women attenuates the positive effects of exercise on bone density. Studies have shown that in the absence of adequate levels of circulating estrogen, there may not be ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1983)The effects of estradiol on myelopoiesis and marrow fibroblasts were studied in C57B1/6J mice and dogs. Marrow cells from mice and dogs were grown in vitro with 10('-8) to 10('-4) M 17(beta)-estradiol sulfate. Mice and ...
-
(2012-10-19)Hormone replacement therapy and estrogen replacement therapy have shown the ability to reduce risk of colon cancer development in clinical and animal studies, but in vitro research has been unable to reproduce an estradiol ...
-
(2019-06-06)Intralocus conflict, the differential selection optima for a genomic region, between males and females created by sexual selection can be resolved with the presence of sex-biased hormone response elements (HREs) in the ...
-
(2009-06-02)Estrogen receptor (ER) acts as a ligand-activated transcription factor that regulates the expression of genes. The genomic mechanisms of ER action include ligand-induced dimerization of ER which binds estrogen responsive ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1990)Two polychlorinated biphenyl congeners, namely 2,2',4,4',5,5',-hexa- and 2,2',5,5'-tetrachlorobiphenyl and MCDF antagonized 2,3,7,8-TCDD-induced deft palate in C57BL/6 mice. Administration of [³H]-2,3,7,8-TCDD to C57BL/6 ...
-
(2009-05-15)This study investigated the effects of selective estrogen receptor (ER) agonists on constrictor prostanoid (CP) function and on the development of mean arterial pressure (MAP) in aortic coarctation-induced hypertension ...
