Project description:We investigated the effects of the flutamide (FLU) -induced liver injury in primary rat hepatocytes using our liver microfluidic biochips. Flutamide is used a non-steroidal anti-androgenic drug. Two flutamide concentrations, 10M-BM-5M and 100M-BM-5M, were used to expose the hepatocytes for 24h under perfusion. Primary rat hepatocytes were cultivated in microfluidic biochips and treated with 10 and 100M-BM-5M of flutamide for 24h

Project description:Analysis of hormone effects on irradiated LBNF1 rat testes, which contain only somatic cells except for a few type A spermatgogonia. Rats were treated for 2 weeks with either sham treatment (group X), hormonal ablation (GnRH antagonist and the androgen receptor antagonist flutamide, group XAF), testosterone supplementation (GnRH antagonist and testosterone, group XAT), and FSH supplementation ((GnRH antagonist, androgen receptor antagonist, and FSH, group XAFF). Results provide insight into identifying genes in the somatic testis cells regulated by testosterone, LH, or FSH.
