A direct radioimmunoassay for measuring plasma levels of oestrone sulphate has been developed using 8-anilino-2-naphthalene sulphonic acid to displace oestrone sulphate from plasma binding proteins. Oestrone sulphate was assayed by using an antiserum raised against glucuronide which cross-reacted 100% with oestrone sulphate. The direct assay gave a good analytical recovery of oestrone sulphate and there was a good correlation (r = 0.82, P less than 0.001) for plasma levels of oestrone sulphate measured by the direct assay and a method involving steroid conjugate extraction and enzyme hydrolysis. The mean (+/- S.D.) plasma level of oestrone sulphate in men was 1100 +/- 280 pg/ml. The effect of taking the antibiotic, Ampicillin, on plasma levels of oestrone sulphate was investigated in four men. Plasma levels of oestrone sulphate were significantly reduced after taking Ampicillin for 5 days. Ampicillin may act to lower plasma levels of oestrone sulphate by reducing the growth of bacteria in the gut or by inhibiting oestrogen sulphotransferase activity.

Despite evidence indicating a substantial presence of microplastics (MPs) in organic fertilizers, research exploring the differences of MPs among various types of organic fertilizers remains limited. Additionally, MPs can act as carriers for organic pollutants, influencing their environmental behaviors. This study investigated the presence of MPs in organic fertilizers and their effects on the environmental behaviors of steroidal estrogens.

The study aimed to propose sensitive, specific and easy pregnancy diagnosis for American Bison. Trans-rectal Palpation and Ultrasonography (TRPUS), concentration of Pregnancy Associated Glycoproteins (PAG), Progesterone (P4), Estrone (E1), Estrone-Sulfate (E1S) in serum and P4 and E1S in feces were compared. Immunoassay was used for PAG, whereas steroids were assayed using Liquid Chromatography coupled to Mass Spectrometry.

Altrenogest, also known as allyltrenbolone, is a synthetic form of progesterone used therapeutically to suppress unwanted symptoms of estrus in female horses. Altrenogest affects the system by decreasing levels of endogenous gonadotrophin and luteinizing and follicle-stimulating hormones, which in turn decreases estrogen and mimics the increase of progesterone production. This results in more manageable mares for training and competition alongside male horses while improving the workplace safety of riders and handlers.

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common heterogeneous disorder linked with endocrine and metabolic disturbances. The underlying mechanism of PCOS, especially its effect on oocyte competence, remains unclear. The study aimed to identify abnormal follicular metabolic changes using a multi-omics approach in follicular fluid from PCOS patients and to determine their effects on oocyte competence.
