We orally administered polyphenone-60 (P-60), green tea extract catechins, in the diet (0, 1.25 and 5%) to male rats for 2, 4 and 8 weeks initiated at 5 weeks old. It was found that a 5% dose to male rats for 2-8 weeks induced goiters and decreased weights of the body, testis and prostate gland. Endocrinologically, elevating plasma thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), luteinizing hormone (LH) and testosterone levels and decreasing tri-iodothyronine (T(3)) and thyroxine (T(4)) levels were induced by this treatment. We also found that P-60 as a whole and some of its constituents exhibited inhibitory effects on human placental aromatase activity by in vitro assay. The concentration of P-60 that required producing 50% inhibition of the aromatase activity (IC(50) value) was 28 microg/ml. The IC(50) values of (-)-catechin gallate (Cg), (-)-epigallocatechin (EGC), (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg) and (-)-gallocatechin gallate (GCg) were 5.5 x 10(-6), 1.0 x 10(-4), 6.0 x 10(-5) and 1.5 x 10(-5) M, respectively. (-)- Epicatechin gallate (ECg) at 1.0 x 10(-4) M produced 20% inhibition. (-)-Epicatechin (EC) and (+)-catechin (CT) exhibited no effects on aromatase activity. The endocrinological changes observed in vivo were in conformity with antithyroid effects and aromatase inhibition effects of P-60 and its constituents.

Induction of cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) is determined typically by employing primary culture of human hepatocytes and measuring CYP3A4 mRNA, protein and microsomal activity. Recently a pregnane X receptor (PXR) reporter gene assay was established to screen CYP3A4 inducers. To evaluate results from the PXR reporter gene assay with those from the aforementioned conventional assays, 14 drugs were evaluated for their ability to induce CYP3A4 and activate PXR. Sandwiched primary cultures of human hepatocytes from six donors were used and CYP3A4 activity was assessed by measuring microsomal testosterone 6beta-hydroxylase activity. Hepatic CYP3A4 mRNA and protein levels were also analyzed using branched DNA technology/Northern blotting and Western blotting, respectively. In general, PXR activation correlated with the induction potential observed in human hepatocyte cultures. Clotrimazole, phenobarbital, rifampin, and sulfinpyrazone highly activated PXR and increased CYP3A4 activity; carbamazepine, dexamethasone, dexamethasone-t-butylacetate, phenytoin, sulfadimidine, and taxol weakly activated PXR and induced CYP3A4 activity, and methotrexate and probenecid showed no marked activation in either system. Ritonavir and troleandomycin showed marked PXR activation but no increase (in the case of troleandomycin) or a significant decrease (in the case of ritonavir) in microsomal CYP3A4 activity. It is concluded that the PXR reporter gene assay is a reliable and complementary method to assess the CYP3A4 induction potential of drugs and other xenobiotics.

The purpose of this study was to characterize the concentration-response effects of cyclophosphamide (CPA) with and without dexamethasone (DEX; 10 microM) on the expression of CYP3A4 and CYP2B6 in cultured human hepatocytes at concentrations representative of standard- and high-dose CPA therapy (25 to 750 microM). CPA produced concentration-dependent increases in CYP3A4 and CYP2B6 activity and immunoreactive protein that peaked at 250 and 125 microM, respectively, and declined thereafter. The inductive effect of CPA alone and in combination with DEX was greater in magnitude for CYP2B6 compared with CYP3A4. To further examine the inductive effect of CPA on CYP3A4, CPA (250 microM) and DEX (10 microM) alone and in combination were examined in 10 hepatocyte preparations. The combination of CPA and DEX yielded higher rates of 6beta-hydroxytestosterone formation than either agent alone. However, the effect was less than additive in human hepatocyte cultures with relatively high baseline CYP3A4 activity and additive or synergistic in human hepatocyte cultures with relatively low baseline CYP3A4 activity. Induction index was highly correlated with CYP3A4 baseline activity for both CPA (r(2) = 0.75) and CPA plus DEX (r(2) = 0.85). To investigate the potential mechanism for CPA-induced increases in CYP3A4 activity, the ability of CPA alone and in combination with DEX to activate pregnane X receptor (PXR) was explored using transient transfection assays. CPA produced a dose-dependent increase in PXR activation that was maximal at the highest CPA concentration studied (500 microM). The addition of DEX to CPA resulted in a minor increase in PXR activation compared with CPA alone. These results indicate that CPA alone and in combination with DEX differentially induces the expression of CYP3A4 and 2B in a concentration-dependent manner, which may be mediated partially through activation of PXR. The impact of these effects on the efficacy and toxicity of CPA therapy warrants further investigation.

Cell-cell interactions in the testis of adjuvant-induced arthritic rat.

Rats with adjuvant-induced arthritis (AA) have low levels of serum testosterone, and production of testosterone reportedly is influenced by macrophage secretory products. This study was undertaken to understand the mechanism mediating this hypoandrogenism. Testicular macrophages from AA and nonarthritic (NA)rats were cultured, and conditioned media was added to testicular interstitial cells and Percoll-purified cells from NA rats. Testosterone production by interstitial cells stimulated with luteinizing hormone (LH) and incubated with adjuvant-induced arthritic macrophage conditioned medium (AAMCM) was significantly lower than in cells incubated with nonarthritic macrophage conditioned medium (NAMCM). However, there was no difference in testosterone production by Percoll-purified Leydig cells and those stimulated with LH when incubated with AAMCM or NAMCM. To determine whether an intermediary cell type was involved in mediating inhibition of testosterone production, AAMCM and NAMCM were added to a reconstituted preparation of testicular interstitial cells. Addition of AAMCM restored the inhibitory effect, suggesting that arthritic hypoandrogenism is mediated by cell-cell interaction. These results suggest that a factor produced by macrophages from AA rats appears to mediate testosterone production by acting in conjunction with other cells in the testicular interstitium.

Is your hair shedding prematurely? Are you losing hair gradually or all of a sudden, or just as you are aging? Hair Million is a herbal formula to reverse your hair loss problems. Numerous anecdotal cases, and personal testimonies indicate that this herbal formula based on Chinese herbs actually improves the conditions of hair thinning and hair loss for a significant fraction of people taking it regularly. The biology of hair growth is complex and a field still under exploration. We don't know how Hair Million stops hair loss, and promotes hair restoration, despite all the supporting anecdotal cases. Neither scientific research nor placebo controlled clinical trials has been conducted due to the cost. Shortage of scientific and clinical research data is not uncommon in herbal and nutritional arena. Important merits of Hair Million is that it is relatively inexpensive compared with surgical transplantation or prescription drugs, and secondly, it is made only of traditional herbs that promote hair growth and are widely known to be safe in regular quantities.
