Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of 2,4,6,11-tetra-kis-(4-fluoro-phen-yl)-9-oxa-1,5-di-aza-tri-cyclo-[5.3.1.0]undeca-ne.

The title compound, CHFNO, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group 2/ with four mol-ecules in the unit cell. The compound was prepared by the NaBH reduction of 4,8,9,10-tetra-kis-(4-fluoro-phen-yl)-1,3-di-aza-adamantan-6-one in chloro-form and ethanol as solvent. The piperidine rings exhibit chair and boat conformations, and all four fluoro-phenyl groups are oriented in the equatorial direction.

Male reproductive toxicity of CrVI: In-utero exposure to CrVI at the critical window of testis differentiation represses the expression of Sertoli cell tight junction proteins and hormone receptors in adult F progeny rats.

The effect of gestational exposure to CrVI (occupational/environmental pollutant and target to Sertoli cells(SC)) was tested in a rat model during the testicular differentiation from the bipotential gonad may interrupt spermatogenesis by disrupting SC tight junctions(TJ) and it's proteins and hormone receptors. Pregnant Wistar rats were exposed to 50/100/200ppm CrVI through drinking water during embryonic days 9-14. On Postnatal day 120, testes were subjected to ion exchange chromatographic analysis and revealed increased level of CrIII in SCs and germ cells, serum and testicular interstitial fluid(TIF).

Lipid peroxidation and antioxidants status in human malignant and non-malignant thyroid tumours.

Introduction: Thyroid epithelial cells produce moderate amounts of reactive oxygen species that are physiologically required for thyroid hormone synthesis. Nevertheless, when they are produced in excessive amounts, they may become toxic.

Objective: The present study is aimed to compare the lipid peroxidation (LPO), antioxidant enzymes - superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and non-protein thiols (reduced glutathione (GSH)) in human thyroid tissues with malignant and non-malignant disorders.

Transient gestational and neonatal hypothyroidism-induced specific changes in androgen receptor expression in skeletal and cardiac muscles of adult rat.

The present study aims to identify the association between androgen status and metabolic activity in skeletal and cardiac muscles of adult rats with transient gestational/neonatal-onset hypothyroidism. Pregnant and lactating rats were made hypothyroid by exposing to 0.05% methimazole in drinking water; gestational exposure was from embryonic day 9-14 (group II) or 21 (group III), lactational exposure was from postnatal day 1-14 (group IV) or 29 (group V).
