Particular attention is paid to the search for microorganisms with high degradation potential and the possibility of their use in the degradation of endocrine disrupting compounds. Increasingly, immobilized microorganisms or enzymes are used in biodegradation systems. This review presents the main sources of endocrine disrupting compounds and identifies the risks associated with their presence in the environment. The main pathways of degradation of these compounds by microorganisms are also presented. The last part is devoted to an overview of the immobilization methods used for the purposes of enabling the use of biocatalysts in environmental bioremediation. Keywords: EDCs; hormones; degradation; immobilization; microorganisms 1. Introduction The development of modern tools for the separation and identification of chemical substances has drawn attention to the so-called micropollution of the environment. Many of these contaminants belong to the emergent pollutants class. According to the Stockholm Convention they are characterized by high persistence, are transported over long distances in the environment through water, accumulate in the tissue of living organisms and can adversely affect them [1].

  • SPIRONOLACTONE Spironolactone – Oral (Common Brand Name
    SPIRONOLACTONE Spironolactone – oral (common brand name: Aldactone) Uses: Spironolactone is used to treat high blood pressure. Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. It is also used to treat swelling (edema) caused by certain conditions (e.g., congestive heart failure) by removing excess fluid and improving symptoms such as breathing problems. This medication is also used to treat low potassium levels and conditions in which the body is making too much of a natural chemical (aldosterone). Spironolactone is known as a “water pill” (potassium-sparing diuretic). Other uses: This medication has also been used to treat acne in women, female pattern hair loss, and excessive hair growth (hirsutism), especially in women with polycystic ovary disease. Side effects: Drowsiness, lightheadedness, stomach upset, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, or headache may occur. To minimize lightheadedness, get up slowly when rising from a seated or lying position. If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor promptly. Tell your doctor immediately if any of these unlikely but serious side effects occur; dizziness, increased thirst, change in the amount of urine, mental/mood chances, unusual fatigue/weakness, muscle spasms, menstrual period changes, sexual function problems. This medication may lead to high levels of potassium, especially in patients with kidney problems. If not treated, very high potassium levels can be fatal. Tell your doctor immediately if you notice any of the following unlikely but serious side effects: slow/irregular heartbeat, muscle weakness. Precautions: Before taking spironolactone, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or if you have any other allergies.

Objectives: To suggest possible treatment strategies for non-binary transgender individuals with non-standardized requests and to emphasize the importance of a personalized clinical approach. Methods: A narrative review of pertinent literature on gender-affirming hormonal treatment in transgender persons was performed using PubMed. Results: New hormonal treatment regimens outside those reported in current guidelines should be considered for non-binary transgender individuals, in order to improve psychological well-being and quality of life. In the present review we suggested the use of hormonal and non-hormonal compounds, which—based on their mechanism of action—could be used in these cases depending on clients’ requests. Conclusion: Requests for an individualized hormonal treatment in non-binary transgender individuals represent a future challenge for professionals managing transgender health care. For each case, clinicians should balance the benefits and risks of a personalized non-standardized treatment, actively involving the person in decisions regarding hormonal treatment.

  • Estrogen Actions Throughout the Brain
    Estrogen Actions Throughout the Brain BRUCE MCEWEN Harold and Margaret Milliken Hatch Laboratory of Neuroendocrinology, The Rockefeller University, New York, New York 10021 ABSTRACT Besides affecting the hypothalamus and other brain areas related to reproduction, ovarian steroids have widespread effects throughout the brain, on serotonin pathways, catecholaminergic neurons, and the basal forebrain cholinergic system as well as the hippocampal formation, a brain region involved in spatial and declarative memory. Thus, ovarian steroids have measurable effects on affective state as well as cognition, with implications for dementia. Two actions are discussed in this review; both appear to involve a combination of genomic and nongenomic actions of ovarian hormones. First, regulation of the serotonergic system appears to be linked to the presence of estrogen- and progestin-sensitive neurons in the midbrain raphe as well as possibly nongenomic actions in brain areas to which serotonin neurons project their axons. Second, ovarian hormones regulate synapse turnover in the CA1 region of the hippocampus during the 4- to 5-day estrous cycle of the female rat. Formation of new excitatory synapses is induced by estradiol and involves N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors, whereas downregulation of these synapses involves intracellular progestin receptors. A new, rapid method of radioimmunocytochemistry has made possible the demonstration of synapse formation by labeling and quantifying the specific synaptic and dendritic molecules involved. Although NMDA receptor activation is required for synapse formation, inhibitory interneurons may play a pivotal role as they express nuclear estrogen receptor-alpha (ER␣). It is also likely that estrogens may locally regulate events at the sites of synaptic contact in the excitatory pyramidal neurons where the synapses form.

  • Molecular and Preclinical Pharmacology of Nonsteroidal Androgen Receptor Ligands
    Molecular and Preclinical Pharmacology of Nonsteroidal Androgen Receptor Ligands Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Amanda Jones, M.S. Graduate Program in Pharmacy The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: James T. Dalton, Advisor Thomas D. Schmittgen William L. Hayton Robert W. Brueggemeier Copyright by Amanda Jones 2010 Abstract The androgen receptor (AR) is critical for the growth and development of secondary sexual organs, muscle, bone and other tissues, making it an excellent therapeutic target. Ubiquitous expression of AR impedes the ability of endogenous steroids to function tissue selectively. In addition to the lack of tissue selectivity, clinical use of testosterone is limited due to poor bioavailability and pharmacokinetic problems. Our lab, in the last decade, discovered and developed tissue selective AR modulators (SARMs) that spare androgenic effects in secondary sexual organs, but demonstrate potential to treat muscle wasting diseases. This work reveals the discovery of next generation SARMs to treat prostate cancer and mechanistically characterize a prospective SARM in muscle and central nervous system (CNS). Prostate cancer relies on the AR for its growth, making it the primary therapeutic target in this disease. However, prolonged inhibition, with commercially available AR antagonists, leads to the development of mutations in its ligand binding domain resulting in resistance. Utilizing the crystal structure of AR-wild-type and AR-W741L mutant, we synthesized a series of AR pan- antagonists (that inhibit both wild-type and mutant ARs). Structure activity relationship studies indicate that sulfonyl and amine linkages of the aryl propionamide pharmacophore are important for the antagonist activity.

Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of nafarelin, a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogue, versus danazol in the treatment of women with endometriosis in Taiwan. Methods: Fifty-nine women with laparoscopically and pathologically confirmed endometriosis were randomized to receive nafarelin or danazol for 180 days. Efficacy was assessed from mean changes in laparoscopy score (LS) and total symptom severity score (TSSS). Adverse events (AEs) and laboratory parameters, including hematology, hepatic function, blood pressure, and lipid levels, were monitored for safety evaluations. Results: All demographic and baseline factors, except body weight, were comparable between the 2 treatment groups. Both nafarelin and danazol satisfactorily resolved pelvic tenderness, induration, pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea and dyspareunia. No significant differences were noted in efficacy endpoints between nafarelin and danazol regarding LS and TSSS at 90 and 180 days of treatment. No significant difference was observed between the 2 groups regarding the overall incidence of AEs, except for laboratory-related AEs. However, nafarelin tended to have less impact than danazol on aspartate transaminase and alanine transaminase, and nafarelin was better tolerated than danazol regarding changes in lipid profiles.
