testes

Deoxyribonucleic Acid Sodium (Salmon testes) is a natural DNA used in studies of DNA binding agents that modulate DNA structure and function.

Relugolix (RVT-601) is an orally available, non-peptide gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH or luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH)) antagonist, with potential antineoplastic activity. Relugolix competitively binds to and blocks the GnRH receptor in the anterior pituitary gland, which both prevents GnRH binding to the GnRH receptor and inhibits the secretion and release of both luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). In males, the inhibition of LH secretion prevents the release of testosterone from Leydig cells in the testes. Since testosterone is required to sustain prostate growth, reducing testosterone levels may inhibit hormone-dependent prostate cancer cell proliferation.

Relugolix-d6 is a deuterated compound of Relugolix. Relugolix has a CAS number of 737789-87-6. Relugolix is an orally available, non-peptide gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH or luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH)) antagonist, with potential antineoplastic activity. Relugolix competitively binds to and blocks the GnRH receptor in the anterior pituitary gland, which both prevents GnRH binding to the GnRH receptor and inhibits the secretion and release of both luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). In males, the inhibition of LH secretion prevents the release of testosterone from Leydig cells in the testes. Since testosterone is required to sustain prostate growth, reducing testosterone levels may inhibit hormone-dependent prostate cancer cell proliferation.

CFG920 is a CYP17 inhibitor, is also an orally available inhibitor of the steroid 17-alpha-hydroxylase/C17,20 lyase (CYP17A1 or CYP17), with potential antiandrogen and antineoplastic activities. Upon oral administration, CYP17 inhibitor CFG920 inhibits the enzymatic activity of CYP17A1 in both the testes and adrenal glands, thereby inhibiting androgen production. This may decrease androgen-dependent growth signaling and may inhibit cell proliferation of androgen-dependent tumor cells.

GTX-758, also known as Capesaris, is a n orally available, nonsteroidal selective estrogen receptor (ER) alpha agonist with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon administration of GTx-758, this agent suppresses the secretion of the gonadotropins follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) by the pituitary gland through feedback inhibition. In males, the inhibition of LH secretion prevents the synthesis of androgens, including testosterone, by the testes. This may result in suppressed total serum testosterone to the levels observed in castration. Check for active clinical trials or closed clinical trials using this agent. (NCI Thesaurus).

Creatine (Methylguanidoacetic acid) is an amino acid that occurs in vertebrate tissues and in urine. In muscle tissue, creatine generally occurs as phosphocreatine. Creatine is excreted as creatinine in the urine. Creatine functions as part of the cell's energy shuttle. The high energy phosphate group of ATP is transferred to creatine to form phosphocreatine in the following reaction: Cr + ATP <-> PCr + ADP. This reaction is reversibly catalyzed by creatine kinase. In the human body, creatine is synthesized mainly in the liver by the use of parts from three different amino acids: arginine, glycine, and methionine. 95% of it is later stored in the skeletal muscles and the rest is stored in the brain, heart, and testes.

5α-Androst-16-en-3α-ol is a steroid pheromone that has been found in boar testes and human male axillary sweat and has diverse biological activities.1,2It enhances GABA-activated currents in primary mouse cerebellar granule cells (EC50= 0.4 μM).25α-Androst-16-en-3α-ol (0.1-1 μM) increases the amplitude of GABA-activated currents in HEK293 cells expressing human α1β2γ2and α2β2γ2subunit-containing GABAAreceptors.In vivo, 5α-androst-16-en-3α-ol (5-10 mg/kg) decreases immobility time in the forced swim test in mice. It increases time spent in the open arms of the elevated plus maze in mice, indicating anxiolytic-like activity, when administered at doses ranging from 30 to 50 mg/kg. 5α-Androst-16-en-3α-ol protects against seizures induced by pentylenetetrazole or electroshock in mice (ED50s = 48.9 and 21.9 mg/kg, respectively). 1.Brooksbank, B.W., Brown, R., and Gustafsson, J.A.The detection of 5α-androst-16-en-3α-ol in human male axillary sweatExperientia30(8)864-865(1974) 2.Kaminski, R.M., Marini, H., Ortinski, P.I., et al.The pheromone androstenol (5α-androst-16-en-3α-ol) is a neurosteroid positive modulator of GABAA receptorsJ.

Kisspeptin-10, a neuropeptide present in the brains, ovaries, and testes of zebrafish, plays a critical role in gonadal development and steroid expression. At a concentration of 10 ng/ml, it enhances the mRNA levels for the luteinizing hormone (Lh) receptor and both progestin receptor a (Pra) and Prb in zebrafish ovarian follicles. In female goldfish, doses of 0.1 and 1 µg/g of Kisspeptin-10 elevate serum levels of luteinizing hormone, with no similar effect observed in male goldfish.

Butylparaben sodium significantly impacts the later phases of spermatogenesis in the testes by impairing hormonal regulation and or RNA and protein synthesis [1].

NaPi2b is primarily expressed in the small intestine, lungs, and testes and plays an important role in phosphate homeostasis. The inhibition of NaPi2b, responsible for intestinal phosphate absorption, is considered to reduce serum phosphate levels, making it a promising therapeutic approach for hyperphosphatemia

Creatine monohydrate (Methylguanidoacetic acid monohydrate) is a key player in the phosphagen energy system, especially in muscle and the brain. Creatine monohydrate is the primary source of ATP during high-intensity, short-term activities.
