P4 was metabolized primarily into 5α-reduced metabolites including, 5α-pregnane-3,20-dione (DHP), 3β-hydroxy-5α-pregnan-20-one (3β,20-one), 5α-pregnane-3β,20α-diol (3β,20α-diol), 5α-pregnane-3β,20β-diol (3β,20β-diol), and 5α-pregnane-3α,20α-diol (3α,20α-diol) by both the ovaries and testes. The capacity to metabolize P4 did not differ between the ovaries and testes. However, the relative quantity of 5α-pregnane-3β,20ξ-diol synthesized from ovary and testis tissue minces was about 3.3-fold higher than from homogenate preparations. Differences in the synthesis of 3β,20-one and 3α,20α-diol in both ovary and testis minces were dependent on reproductive state. This study demonstrates the pathway of P4 conversion in the ovaries and testes of <em>L. variegatus</em> and indicates the rapid conversion of P4 into 5α-reduced metabolites in these tissues. Although P4 metabolism is not sex specific, sex-specific responses to P4 metabolites have been demonstrated previously. We hypothesize that the sex-specific responses of the ovaries and the testes to P4 may be associated with receptor-level regulatory processes.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":10586,"journal":{"name":"Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part C: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Endocrinology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S0742-8413(00)00153-5","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73024756","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The open-field results showed (i) few alterations in locomotion frequency; (ii) a biphasic effect on rearing frequency that may be the consequence of least habituation in open-field; (iii) the reduction of grooming durations might be attributed to a possible anxiolytic effect of doramectin since GABAergic agonists reduced this parameter in apparatus.
