Journal: Tissue steroid levels in response to reduced testicular estrogen synthesis in the male pig, Sus scrofa. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 10, 2020 Boars were treated with the aromatase inhibitor, letrozole from 11 to 16 weeks of age and littermate boars received the canola oil vehicle...Hence, the distribution of estrogens between the free and conjugated forms was altered in a tissue-specific manner following inhibition of aromatase. The results suggest sulfated testicular estrogens are important estrogen precursors for the prostate, potentially enabling peripheral target tissues to synthesize free estrogens in the male pig.

Journal: Concentrations of sulphated estrone, estradiol and dehydroepiandrosterone measured by mass spectrometry in pregnant mares. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 8, 2020 The results suggest sulfated testicular estrogens are important estrogen precursors for the prostate, potentially enabling peripheral target tissues to synthesize free estrogens in the male pig. Dependent on methods of extraction and chromatography, and the specificity of primary antisera, immunoassays may underestimate oestrogen conjugate concentrations in blood from pregnant mares and may detect androgen conjugates (neither testosterone sulphate nor DHEAS were detected here by LC-MS/MS) that probably peak coincident with oestrogen conjugates between 6 and 7 months of equine gestation.

Journal: Conversion of chenodeoxycholic acid to cholic acid by human CYP8B1. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 23, 2019 We also show that five derivatives of luciferin are metabolized by CYP8B1 and established a rapid and convenient inhibitor test system. In this way we were able to identify four new CYP8B1 inhibitors, which are aminobenzotriazole, exemestane, ketoconazole, and letrozole.

Journal: Letrozole improves the sensitivity of breast cancer cells overexpressing aromatase to cisplatin via down-regulation of FEN1. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 23, 2019 In this way we were able to identify four new CYP8B1 inhibitors, which are aminobenzotriazole, exemestane, ketoconazole, and letrozole. Our findings clearly demonstrate that letrozole improves cisplatin sensitivity of breast cancer cells overexpressing aromatase via down-regulation of FEN1 and suggest that a combined use of letrozole and cisplatin may be a potential treatment protocol for relieving cisplatin resistance in human breast cancer.

Clinical, Journal: Impact of letrozole versus clomiphene citrate on endometrial receptivity in Iraqi women with polycystic ovarian syndrome. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 23, 2019 Our findings clearly demonstrate that letrozole improves cisplatin sensitivity of breast cancer cells overexpressing aromatase via down-regulation of FEN1 and suggest that a combined use of letrozole and cisplatin may be a potential treatment protocol for relieving cisplatin resistance in human breast cancer. The use of letrozole for ovulation induction in polycystic ovarian syndrome patients has a better effect on endometrial receptivity markers when compared to clomiphene citrate.

Journal, Adverse events: Adverse effects of aromatase inhibition on the brain and behavior in a non-human primate. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 21, 2019 We used a primate model of human cognitive aging, the common marmoset, to examine the effects of a 4-week daily administration of the AI letrozole (20 μg, p.o.) on cognition, anxiety, thermoregulation, brain estrogen content, and hippocampal pyramidal cell physiology...We show that AI-treated male and female marmosets exhibit behavioral changes consistent with these CNS symptoms, and elevated hippocampal estradiol and compromised hippocampal physiology. These findings illustrate the need for 1) a greater understanding of the precise mechanisms by which AIs impact brain function, and 2) the development of new treatment approaches for breast cancer patients that minimize adverse effects on the brain.

Journal: Exposure to a Healthy Gut Microbiome Protects Against Reproductive and Metabolic Dysregulation in a PCOS Mouse Model. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 20, 2019 Using 16S rRNA gene sequencing, we also observed that the overall composition of the gut microbiome and the relative abundance of Coprobacillus and Lactobacillus differed in letrozole-treated mice co-housed with placebo mice compared to letrozole mice housed together. These results suggest that dysbiosis of the gut microbiome may play a causal role in PCOS and that modulation of the gut microbiome may be a potential treatment option for PCOS.

Clinical, Journal: Letrozole use during frozen embryo transfer cycles in women with polycystic ovary syndrome. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 20, 2019 In patients with PCOS undergoing FET, letrozole use for endometrial preparation was associated with higher LBR compared with artificial cycles, albeit after statistical adjustment for confounding factors. Future prospective randomized studies are needed to verify our findings.
