Essential drug-metabolizing enzymes, such as the cytochromes P450 (P450s or CYPs), have been analyzed in dogs, which are frequently used during drug development. Dog CYP3A12, CYP3A26, CYP3A98, and CYP3A99 have been previously identified and analyzed, and in this study, novel dog CYP3A293 cDNA was isolated. CYP3A293 cDNA contains an open reading frame of 503 amino acids and shares 71-77 % and 86-96 % amino acid identity with human and dog CYP3As, respectively.

The synthesis of estradiol-17β (E2), an important steroid hormone in piscine gametogenesis, is catalyzed by various steroidogenic enzymes under the control of pituitary gonadotropins (Gths), follicle-stimulating hormone (Fsh), and luteinizing hormone (Lh). Among these enzymes, 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases (Hsd17bs) with 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase/17-ketosteroid reductase activities are crucial enzymes in the synthesis of sex steroid hormones in gonadal and extra-gonadal tissues. In teleost species, although Hsd17b1 is recognized as essential for E2 synthesis, other Hsd17b types have recently been shown to have the potential to produce E2; however, information is limited.

Microalga-bacteria consortia are increasingly recognized for their effectiveness in wastewater treatment, leveraging the metabolic synergy between microalgae and bacteria to enhance nutrient removal and overall treatment efficiency. These systems offer a sustainable approach to addressing pollutants such as nitrogen and phosphorus. However, their potential in removing specific contaminants like steroid hormones is less explored.

A covalent organic framework (COF) based on imine was synthesized using 2,5-dihexoxyterephthalaldehyde (DHT) and 1,3,5-tris(4-aminophenyl) benzene (TAPB) as starting materials. The TAPB-DHT-COF exhibited satisfactory chemical stability, making it a promising adsorbing material for stir bar sorptive extraction (SBSE) of four estrogens, including estrone (E1), β-estradiol (E2), hexestrol (HES), and mestranol (MeEE2), in ambient water samples. The extracted analytes were subsequently analyzed using a high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detector (HPLC-DAD).

The natural estrogens, including estrone (E), 17β-estradiol (E), and estriol (E), are frequently detected in aquatic environment at relatively high levels. The most commonly used biomarkers for estrogens are mainly expressed in the liver of fish. Analyses of the global gene profiling in fish liver cells under estrogens treatment will provide precise toxicogenomic information of the natural estrogens which is still not well known.
