Summary: Both atrazine and lindane interfere with the
physiologicalprocess of specific DHT-receptor complex formation in the
ratprostate cytosol, but the effects are reversible. The process
wasrestored after 22 days in young rats and after 14 days in
adults,following the cessation of atrazine influence, while
followinglindane influence, restoration was complete after 7 days for
bothage groups. The atrazine or lindane applied doses can occure insome
accidental situations or through continous use of pesticidesas field or
storage exposure without adequate protection.
Keywords: atrazine, lindane, pesticides, reproduction, 5alpha-DHT-complex, rat prostate, reversibility of inhibitory effect

Summary: The effects of gama-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexachlorocyclohexane
(lindane)and
O,O-dimethyl-S-(1,2-dicarbetoxyethyl)phosphorodithioate(malathion) on
testosterone metabolism in rat prostate tissue invitro was investigated.
The influence of lindane on the formationof 5 alpha-androstane-17
beta-ol-3-one (5 alpha DHT)-receptorcomplex in the rat prostatic cytosol
has also been examined.Lindane and malathion inhibited the formation of 5
alpha-DHT, andlindane caused a decrease in the formation of
5alpha-androstane-3,17-dione (androstanedione) in the rat prostatetissue. A
mixture of lindane and malathion exerted a sinergisticeffect on
testosterone metabolism in the rat prostate, asindicated by lower 5
alpha-DHT and higher 5 alpha-androstane-3alpha,17 beta-diol formation. The
presence of lindanesignificantly inhibited 5 alpha-DHT-receptor compplex
formationin the rat prostatic cytosol, and the inhibition was of a
fullynon-competitive type.
Keywords: testosterone, metabolism, 5 alpha-DHT, androgen receptors, rat, prostate, in vitro, lindane, malathion, pesticides, non-competitive inhibition

Summary: To investigate a possible cytokinin activity, a novel
syntheticcompound 1-(6-purinyl)-2,5-dimethylpyrrol (PDP) wasexperimentally
tested by using the classical tobaccobioassay, and callus culture of Coleus
blumei Benth. regardedas a suitable system for producing secondary
metabolites(rosmarinic acid). The activity of PDP was compared tothat of
kinetin (Kt). The results indicate that the selectedcompounds PDP has a
stimulating effect on the growth of Coleusblumei Benth. callus and can be
considered ascytokinin. The fluffy structure of Coleus blumei Benth.
callushas shown some advantages in establishing cell suspensionculture.

Summary: The effects of subacute exposure to atrazine on body weight
ovarian cycling, conception rate and the size of litters in Fisher strain
rats were studied. An atrazine dose of 120 mg/kg body wt given p.o. daily
for 7 days to both female and male rats caused statistically significant
lose of body weight in both sexes during the period of treatment. After the
cessation of treatment the body weight of female rats remained below
control body weights at least for 2 weeks. In male rats the different in
body weights narrowed with time and reached control level 5 days after the
last dose. Atrazine increase weights of pituitary and prostate, disturbed
ovarian cycling and decreased successful mating in the first week after
treatment.
Keywords: atrazine, rat, oestrous cycle, reproduction, prostate, seminal vesicles, pituitary.

Summary: The influence of s-triazine compounds (atrazine, prometryne
and deethylatrazine) on testosterone conversion and
5alpha-didydrotestosterone-receptor complex formation was studied in vitro
and in vivo in the rat prostate. A marked in vitro influence of atrazine
and prometryne (from 0.465 to 1.393 umol) and their mixtures (in total
concentration, 0.928 umol) on 5alpha-dihydrotestosterone formation was
detected. The inhibition of the enzymic activities responsible for
testosterone conversion and steroid hormone-receptor complex formation was
non-competitive and reversible, and s-triazine compounds act as
antiandrogens.

Summary: The influence of the herbicide atrazine on the Fischer rat
and their offspring was investigated. Six 120 mg doses of atrazine in
paraffin oil per kg body weight were applied every 48 hours to the females
in Group A. The females in the control Group C, received paraffin oil only.
Atrazine did not affect estrus cycle, gestation and delivery, litter size
and pup survival. Adult female offspring of Group A displayed increased
activity in the activity cage and the male offspring avoided more electric
shocks during the shuttle box acquisition trials. Group A offspring had
shorter latency time during extinction trials than Group C offspring.
Keywords: atrazine, s-triazine, reproduction, behavior, rat
