  • Title: Pentose phosphate pathway and testicular steroidogenesis in rats following oxythiamine treatment.
    Author: Deb C, Mukherjee R, Kaul P, Mallick N.
    Journal: Endokrinologie; 1977 Jul; 69(2):143-50. PubMed ID: 913342.
    Abstract:
    Suppression of delta5-3beta-hydroxy steroid dehydrogenase (delta5-3beta-OHD) and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-P-D) activities along with concomitant stimulation of succinic dehydrogenase (SDH) activity were observed in the rat testicular tissues following treatment with oxythiamine HC1, an inhibitor of pentose phosphate pathway. The same treatment also resulted in an accumulation of cholesterol and ascorbic acid in the gland associated with a decrease in the weights of seminal vesicle and prostate. The results suggest a diminution in testicular steroid biogenesis following an alteration of pentose phosphate pathway.
