Influence of cyproterone acetate and estradiol on cell kinetics in the sebaceous gland of the golden hamster ear. 1980

H Wirth, and M Gloor, and W Kimmel

The cell kinetics of the sebaceous gland of the hamster ear were analysed in untreated animals, in animals treated with cyproterone acetate, and in animals treated with estradiol. Both active substances lead to a reduction in the size of the sebaceous gland (measurement with the integration plate), to a reduction of mitoses (colcemide method), to a reduction in the 3H-thymidine labelling index, to a prolongation of the S-phase (double labelling technique with 3H- and 14C-thymidine), and to a decrease in the number of cells labelled with 3H-thymidine which remain in contact with the basal lamina of the sebaceous gland 6 days after application of the isotope. The results indicate that, like cyproterone acetate, estradiol reduces the effect of androgens on cell kinetics in the sebaceous gland under the test conditions chosen, even if in an entirely different way.

D003534 Cyproterone An anti-androgen that, in the form of its acetate (CYPROTERONE ACETATE), also has progestational properties. It is used in the treatment of hypersexuality in males, as a palliative in prostatic carcinoma, and, in combination with estrogen, for the therapy of severe acne and hirsutism in females. Cyproterone, 1alpha,2 alpha,9 beta,10 alpha-Isomer
D004423 Ear The hearing and equilibrium system of the body. It consists of three parts: the EXTERNAL EAR, the MIDDLE EAR, and the INNER EAR. Sound waves are transmitted through this organ where vibration is transduced to nerve signals that pass through the ACOUSTIC NERVE to the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. The inner ear also contains the vestibular organ that maintains equilibrium by transducing signals to the VESTIBULAR NERVE.
