Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the use of at least one cucurbit seed oil chosen from the group consisting of Lagenaria, Luffa and Momordica, for the preparation of a composition intended to inhibit the activity of 5 ⁇ -reductase, as well as the use of such an oil for the preparation of a composition intended for the treatment of prostatic hypertrophy, prostatic adenoma, acne, hyperseborrhea, alopecia, and hirsutism.
  • the invention also relates to cosmetic treatment methods, in particular for oily skin.
  • the subject of the invention is also the use of at least one oil of cucurbit seeds in a food for humans and / or animals as an additive acting to inhibit the activity of 5-alpha reductase.
  • the tropical cucurbits belonging to the three genera Lagenaria, Luffa and Momordica are plants cultivated in particular on Reunion Island or in India.
  • these tropical cucurbits one can cite in particular the long calabashes, scabies and bottle (Lagenaria leucaritha), the ribbed pipangaille (Luffa acutanguld), the smooth pipangaille (Luffa cylindrica) and the margoze (Momordica charantia).
  • Calabashes of the genus Lagenaria leucaritha are plants generally cultivated in Asia, especially in China and Japan. They are also found around the Indian Ocean. These plants are annual herbaceous plants from 8 to 10 meters. The fertilization of their flowers leads to cylindrical fruits, swollen at their base, called calabashes. There are, for example, on the island of Reunion, three types of gourds of the genus Lagenaria leucaritha, the long gourds, scabies and bottle. These fleshy fruits contain in their center flat and elongated seeds with a lipid content of between 12 and 25% by weight.
  • the margoze of the genus Momordica charantia comes from India but is also cultivated on the island of Reunion. It is an annual herb, which can give lianas of 2 meters, and whose oblong fruits of green color contain flat seeds. The lipid content of these seeds is approximately 30% by weight.
  • patent application EP 359 196 describes cosmetic formulations for the treatment of the skin, comprising at least one adjuvant and from 1 to 90% by weight of an extract of luffa cylindrica, the extract being an aqueous or alcoholic extract. obtained for example by percolation.
  • the oil extracted from the seeds of tropical cucurbits advantageously chosen from the group consisting of Lagenaria leucaritha, Luffa acutangula, Luffa cylindrica and Momordica charantia
  • a cosmetic composition advantageously administered by topical external route, intended to inhibit the activity of 5-alpha reductase and to act in particular on oily or shiny skin or hair, on skin prone to acne, on the areas of the scalp affected by alopecia of non-pathological origin or on areas of the skin with excess hairiness.
  • oils extracted from the seeds of tropical cucurbits appear to be cosmetically acceptable compounds, non-aggressive for the skin, non-toxic and hypoallergenic.
  • the Applicant has also surprisingly discovered that the oil extracted from the seeds of tropical cucurbits according to the present invention could be used in a pharmaceutical or food composition intended to inhibit the activity of 5-alpha reductase.
  • 5 ⁇ -reductase is a microsomal NADPH dependent enzyme which exists in the form of two isoenzymes synthesized from two different genes.
  • the type 1 isoenzyme of 5-reductase is found mainly in the liver and skin, more particularly in the sebaceous glands of non-genital skin and scalp, and appears at puberty.
  • the type 2 isoenzyme is predominant in the prostate and in the skin of the differentiated sexual territories: genital area, beard, and plays a role in sexual differentiation.
  • the distribution of type 1 and 2 isoenzymes of 5 ⁇ -reductase in the skin and the cutaneous appendages in humans can be illustrated by the following table 1.
  • Table 1 Distribution of type 1 and 2 isoenzymes of 5 ⁇ -reductase in the skin and skin appendages in humans
  • this enzyme 5 ⁇ -reductase mainly located in the genital tissues and in the skin, catalyzes the hydroxylation of testosterone to 5 ⁇ -reductase dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
  • DHT 5 ⁇ -reductase dihydrotestosterone
  • Too high 5 ⁇ -reductase activity therefore causes too much androgen in the form of DHT elevated in the prostate, resulting in overstimulation of the latter resulting in an undesirable growth which can lead to the pathology of prostatic hypertrophy, or even to prostatic adenoma, most often requiring surgical intervention.
  • Other pathologies, of dermatological type can be observed in men or women as resulting from an overactivity of 5 ⁇ -reductase, namely, in particular acne, hirsutism or even alopecia.
  • the activity of 5-reductase is greater in the sebaceous gland than in other structures.
  • the seborrheic glands show a more active 5 ⁇ -reductase than those in other skin areas. Therefore, the level of physiological sebaceous secretion seems closely related to the activity of this enzyme.
  • Oily skin in addition to its unsightly appearance, constitutes a field on which complications can arise. It reaches the areas where the sebaceous glands are numerous and results mainly from an androgenic overstimulation of the sebaceous production by these specific glands. Hyperseborrhea participates in the occurrence of acne vulgaris lesions.
  • the type 1 isoenzyme of 5 ⁇ -reductase in the sebaceous glands, as well as in the hair follicle.
  • the 5 ⁇ -reductase type 2 isoenzyme is localized mainly at the level of the internal epithelial sheath, as well as at the level of the dermal papilla of the hair. However, this latter location remains to be specified.
  • Androgenic alopecia whose pathophysiology is very close to that of acne, is the most common alopecia and probably the one where the demand for therapy is the highest. 5 ⁇ -reductase seems to play a key role in this pathology. In fact, men suffering from a genetic deficiency in the 5cc-reductase type 2 isoenzyme do not develop androgenetic alopecia. In view of the above, research has focused on the development of 5 ⁇ -reductase inhibitors. Some steroids like progesterone have been tested for this, but its rapid metabolism makes it ineffective in vivo. To be active, the 5 ⁇ -reductase inhibitor must be stable enough to block the activity of the enzyme in vitro.
  • Finasteride a competitive steroidal inhibitor, fulfills this condition, but it is more active on the type 2 isoenzyme than on the type 1 isoenzyme and these two isoenzymes have only 50% homology on the sequence of their acids. amines. It is therefore especially in benign prostatic hyperplasia that finasteride has already been tested.
  • Serenoa Repens extract is also known, as a reference as a 5 ⁇ -reductase inhibitor, the Serenoa Repens extract having the advantage, compared to the finasteride, of being of natural origin in as a plant extract allowing a better comparison for tested products also of natural origin.
  • Serenoa Repens also known as Sabal serrulatum, is a small palm that can be found in the United States (Florida) in North Africa and in Spain.
  • the Applicant has now found, quite surprisingly and unexpectedly, that the use of the oil extracted from cucurbit seeds chosen from the group consisting of Lagenaria, Luffa and Momordica allows a remarkable inhibition effect to be obtained. the activity of 5 ⁇ -reductase, thus in particular providing a new response for the treatment of the dermatological pathologies and / or disorders mentioned above.
  • the oil according to the present invention can thus be incorporated into a pharmaceutical composition, into a food product or into a food supplement, or even into a cosmetic composition.

Description

« Utilisation d'au moins une huile extraite de graines de cucurbitacées pour la préparation d'une composition destinée à inhiber l'activité de la 5α-réductase »"Use of at least one oil extracted from cucurbit seeds for the preparation of a composition intended to inhibit the activity of 5α-reductase"
La présente invention se rapporte à l'utilisation d'au moins une huile de graines de cucurbitacées choisies dans le groupe constitué par le Lagenaria, le Luffa et le Momordica, pour la préparation d'une composition destinée à inhiber l'activité de la 5α-réductase, ainsi qu'à l'utilisation d'une telle huile pour la préparation d'une composition destinée au traitement de l'hypertrophie prostatique, de l'adénome prostatique, de l'acné, de Phyperséborrhée, de l'alopécie, et de l'hirsutisme. L'invention se rapporte également à des méthodes de traitement cosmétique, notamment de la peau grasse. L'invention a également pour objet l'utilisation d'au moins une huile de graines de cucurbitacées dans un aliment pour l'être humain et/ou l'animal en tant qu'additif agissant pour inhiber l'activité de la 5-alpha reductase.The present invention relates to the use of at least one cucurbit seed oil chosen from the group consisting of Lagenaria, Luffa and Momordica, for the preparation of a composition intended to inhibit the activity of 5α -reductase, as well as the use of such an oil for the preparation of a composition intended for the treatment of prostatic hypertrophy, prostatic adenoma, acne, hyperseborrhea, alopecia, and hirsutism. The invention also relates to cosmetic treatment methods, in particular for oily skin. The subject of the invention is also the use of at least one oil of cucurbit seeds in a food for humans and / or animals as an additive acting to inhibit the activity of 5-alpha reductase.
Les cucurbitacées tropicales appartenant aux trois genres Lagenaria, Luffa et Momordica sont des végétaux cultivés notamment sur l'île de la Réunion ou en Inde. Parmi ces cucurbitacées tropicales, on peut citer notamment les calebasses longue, gale et bouteille (Lagenaria leucaritha), le pipangaille à côtes (Luffa acutanguld), le pipangaille lisse (Luffa cylindrica) et la margoze (Momordica charantia).The tropical cucurbits belonging to the three genera Lagenaria, Luffa and Momordica are plants cultivated in particular on Reunion Island or in India. Among these tropical cucurbits, one can cite in particular the long calabashes, scabies and bottle (Lagenaria leucaritha), the ribbed pipangaille (Luffa acutanguld), the smooth pipangaille (Luffa cylindrica) and the margoze (Momordica charantia).
Les calebasses du genre Lagenaria leucaritha sont des plantes généralement cultivées en Asie, notamment en Chine et au Japon. On les retrouve également sur le pourtours de l'Océan Indien. Ces plantes sont des herbacées annuelles de 8 à 10 mètres. La fécondation de leurs fleurs conduit à des fruits cylindiques, enflés à leur base, appelés calebasses. On trouve par exemple, sur l'île de la Réunion, trois types de calebasses du genre Lagenaria leucaritha, les calebasses longue, gale et bouteille. Ces fruits charnus contiennent en leur centre des graines plates et allongées présentant une teneur en lipides comprise entre 12 et 25 % en poids.Calabashes of the genus Lagenaria leucaritha are plants generally cultivated in Asia, especially in China and Japan. They are also found around the Indian Ocean. These plants are annual herbaceous plants from 8 to 10 meters. The fertilization of their flowers leads to cylindrical fruits, swollen at their base, called calabashes. There are, for example, on the island of Reunion, three types of gourds of the genus Lagenaria leucaritha, the long gourds, scabies and bottle. These fleshy fruits contain in their center flat and elongated seeds with a lipid content of between 12 and 25% by weight.
Les pipangailles appartenant aux genres Luffa cylindrica et Luffa acutangula, respectivement du type lisse ou à côtes, sont originaires de l'Inde. Ce sont des herbacées annuelles, constituées de tiges rampantes pouvant atteindre 5 mètres de long. Les fruits renferment des graines noires et ovales dont la teneur en lipides est comprise entre 20 et 30% en poids.The pipangailles belonging to the genera Luffa cylindrica and Luffa acutangula, respectively of the smooth or ribbed type, originate from India. They are annual herbs, made up of creeping stems up to 5 meters long. The fruits contain black and oval seeds whose lipid content is between 20 and 30% by weight.
La margoze du genre Momordica charantia provient de l'Inde mais est aussi cultivée sur l'île de la Réunion. C'est une herbacée annuelle, qui peut donner des lianes de 2 mètres, et dont les fruits oblongs de couleur verte contiennent des graines plates. La teneur en lipides de ces graines est de 30% environ en poids.The margoze of the genus Momordica charantia comes from India but is also cultivated on the island of Reunion. It is an annual herb, which can give lianas of 2 meters, and whose oblong fruits of green color contain flat seeds. The lipid content of these seeds is approximately 30% by weight.
Les cucurbitacées tropicales telles que le Luffa cylindrica ont déjà été utilisées dans des applications cosmétiques, mais l'huile extraite des graines de ces cucurbitacées, contenant les lipides totaux de ces graines, n'a jamais été utilisée dans des formulations cosmétiques. Ainsi, la demande de brevet EP 359 196 décrit des formulations cosmétiques pour le traitement de la peau, comprenant au moins un adjuvant et de 1 à 90 % en poids d'un extrait de luffa cylindrica, l'extrait étant un extrait aqueux ou alcoolique obtenu par exemple par percolation.Tropical cucurbits such as Luffa cylindrica have already been used in cosmetic applications, but the oil extracted from the seeds of these cucurbits, containing the total lipids of these seeds, has never been used in cosmetic formulations. Thus, patent application EP 359 196 describes cosmetic formulations for the treatment of the skin, comprising at least one adjuvant and from 1 to 90% by weight of an extract of luffa cylindrica, the extract being an aqueous or alcoholic extract. obtained for example by percolation.
La demanderesse a ainsi découvert de manière surprenante que l'huile extraite des graines des cucurbitacées tropicales, avantageusement choisies dans le groupe constitué par le Lagenaria leucaritha, le Luffa acutangula, le Luffa cylindrica et le Momordica charantia, pouvait être utilisée dans une composition cosmétique, avantageusement administrée par voie externe topique, destinée à inhiber l'activité de la 5-alpha reductase et à agir notamment sur la peau ou les cheveux gras ou luisants, sur les peaux à tendance acnéique, sur les zones du cuir chevelu affectées d'alopécie d'origine non pathologique ou sur les zones de la peau présentant des excès de pilosité.The Applicant has thus surprisingly discovered that the oil extracted from the seeds of tropical cucurbits, advantageously chosen from the group consisting of Lagenaria leucaritha, Luffa acutangula, Luffa cylindrica and Momordica charantia, could be used in a cosmetic composition, advantageously administered by topical external route, intended to inhibit the activity of 5-alpha reductase and to act in particular on oily or shiny skin or hair, on skin prone to acne, on the areas of the scalp affected by alopecia of non-pathological origin or on areas of the skin with excess hairiness.
En outre, les huiles extraites des graines des cucurbitacées tropicales s'avèrent être des composés cosmétiquement acceptables, non agressifs pour la peau, non toxiques et hypoallergéniques. La demanderesse a également découvert de manière surprenante que l'huile extraite des graines des cucurbitacées tropicales selon la présente invention pouvait être utilisée dans une composition pharmaceutique ou alimentaire destinée à inhiber l'activité de la 5-alpha reductase.In addition, the oils extracted from the seeds of tropical cucurbits appear to be cosmetically acceptable compounds, non-aggressive for the skin, non-toxic and hypoallergenic. The Applicant has also surprisingly discovered that the oil extracted from the seeds of tropical cucurbits according to the present invention could be used in a pharmaceutical or food composition intended to inhibit the activity of 5-alpha reductase.
La 5α-réductase est une enzyme microsomiale NADPH dépendante qui existe sous forme de deux isoenzymes synthétisées à partir de deux gènes différents. L' isoenzyme de type 1 de la 5 -réductase est retrouvée essentiellement dans le foie et la peau, plus particulièrement dans les glandes sébacées de la peau non génitale et du cuir chevelu, et apparaît à la puberté. L'isoenzyme de type 2 est prédominante dans la prostate et au niveau de la peau des territoires sexuels différenciés : région génitale, barbe, et joue un rôle dans la différenciation sexuelle. La répartition des isoenzymes de type 1 et 2 de la 5α-réductase au niveau de la peau et des annexes cutanées chez l'homme peut être illustrée par le tableau 1 suivant.5α-reductase is a microsomal NADPH dependent enzyme which exists in the form of two isoenzymes synthesized from two different genes. The type 1 isoenzyme of 5-reductase is found mainly in the liver and skin, more particularly in the sebaceous glands of non-genital skin and scalp, and appears at puberty. The type 2 isoenzyme is predominant in the prostate and in the skin of the differentiated sexual territories: genital area, beard, and plays a role in sexual differentiation. The distribution of type 1 and 2 isoenzymes of 5α-reductase in the skin and the cutaneous appendages in humans can be illustrated by the following table 1.
Tableau 1 : répartition des isoenzymes de type 1 et 2 de la 5α-réductase au niveau de la peau et des annexes cutanées chez l'hommeTable 1: Distribution of type 1 and 2 isoenzymes of 5α-reductase in the skin and skin appendages in humans
Il existe un certain nombre de pathologies pour lesquelles une exagération congénitale ou acquise de l'activité de la 5 -réductase est responsable en totalité ou en majorité des troubles observés.There are a certain number of pathologies for which a congenital or acquired exaggeration of the activity of 5-reductase is responsible in whole or in majority for the disorders observed.
Par exemple, chez l'homme, cette enzyme 5α-réductase, principalement localisée dans les tissus génitaux et dans la peau, catalyse l'hydroxylation de la testostérone en 5α-réductase dihydrotestostérone (DHT). Or, comme la DHT est un androgène bien plus actif que la testostérone (environ 2 fois plus), les effets de cette dernière sont amplifiés dans les tissus où est produite la DHT. Une activité trop élevée de la 5α-réductase provoque ainsi des teneurs en androgène sous forme de DHT trop élevées dans la prostate, d'où une surstimulation de cette dernière se traduisant en une croissance indésirable pouvant mener à la pathologie de l'hypertrophie prostatique, voire à l'adénome prostatique, nécessitant le plus souvent une intervention chirurgicale. D'autres pathologies, de type dermatologique, peuvent être observées chez l'homme ou la femme comme résultant d'une suractivité de la 5α-réductase à savoir, en particulier l'acné, l'hirsutisme ou encore l'alopécie.For example, in humans, this enzyme 5α-reductase, mainly located in the genital tissues and in the skin, catalyzes the hydroxylation of testosterone to 5α-reductase dihydrotestosterone (DHT). However, as DHT is a much more active androgen than testosterone (about twice as much), the effects of the latter are amplified in the tissues where DHT is produced. Too high 5α-reductase activity therefore causes too much androgen in the form of DHT elevated in the prostate, resulting in overstimulation of the latter resulting in an undesirable growth which can lead to the pathology of prostatic hypertrophy, or even to prostatic adenoma, most often requiring surgical intervention. Other pathologies, of dermatological type, can be observed in men or women as resulting from an overactivity of 5α-reductase, namely, in particular acne, hirsutism or even alopecia.
Dans la peau, l'activité de la 5 -réductase est plus importante dans la glande sébacée que dans les autres structures. Par ailleurs, les glandes séborrhéiques montrent une activé 5α-réductase plus importante que celles des autres territoires cutanés. Par conséquent, le niveau de sécrétion sébacée physiologique semble étroitement lié à l'activité de cette enzyme.In the skin, the activity of 5-reductase is greater in the sebaceous gland than in other structures. In addition, the seborrheic glands show a more active 5α-reductase than those in other skin areas. Therefore, the level of physiological sebaceous secretion seems closely related to the activity of this enzyme.
Chez Pacnéïque, il existe une hyperactivité de la 5α-réductase. Plus qu'une augmentation des taux sériques des androgènes, c'est une augmentation des précurseurs en DHT, facteur principal de la fonction sébacée, qui participent à l'acné.In Pacneic, there is an overactivity of 5α-reductase. More than an increase in serum androgen levels, it is an increase in the precursors of DHT, the main factor in sebaceous function, which participate in acne.
La peau grasse (ou séborrhée), outre son aspect disgracieux, constitue un terrain sur lequel peuvent survenir des complications. Elle atteint les zones où les glandes sébacées sont nombreuses et résulte principalement d'une surstimulation androgénique de la production sébacée par ces glandes spécifiques. L'hyperséborrhée participe à la survenue des lésions d'acné vulgaire.Oily skin (or seborrhea), in addition to its unsightly appearance, constitutes a field on which complications can arise. It reaches the areas where the sebaceous glands are numerous and results mainly from an androgenic overstimulation of the sebaceous production by these specific glands. Hyperseborrhea participates in the occurrence of acne vulgaris lesions.
Dans le cuir chevelu, on retrouve l' isoenzyme de type 1 de la 5α-réductase au niveau des glandes sébacées, ainsi qu'au niveau du follicule pileux. L'isoenzyme de type 2 de la 5α-réductase est localisée majoritairement au niveau de la gaine épithéliale interne, ainsi qu'au niveau de la papille dermique du cheveu. Cependant cette dernière localisation reste à préciser.In the scalp, we find the type 1 isoenzyme of 5α-reductase in the sebaceous glands, as well as in the hair follicle. The 5α-reductase type 2 isoenzyme is localized mainly at the level of the internal epithelial sheath, as well as at the level of the dermal papilla of the hair. However, this latter location remains to be specified.
L'alopécie androgénique, dont la physiopathogénie est très voisine de celle de l'acné, est la plus fréquente des alopécies et sans doute celle où la demande de thérapeutique est la plus forte. La 5α-réductase semble jouer un rôle primordial dans cette pathologie. En effet, les hommes atteints d'un déficit génétique en isoenzyme de type 2 de la 5cc-réductase ne développent pas d'alopécie androgénétique. Compte tenu de ce qui précède, la recherche s'est orientée vers la mise au point d'inhibiteurs de la 5α-réductase. Certains stéroïdes comme la progestérone ont été testés dans ce sens, mais sa métabolisation rapide la rend inefficace in vivo. Pour être actif, l'inhibiteur de 5α-réductase doit être suffisamment stable pour bloquer l'activité de l'enzyme in vitro. Le finastéride, inhibiteur compétitif stéroïdien, remplit cette condition, mais il est plus actif sur l'isoenzyme de type 2 que sur l'isoenzyme de type 1 et ces deux isoenzymes n'ont que 50 % d'homologie sur la séquence de leurs acides aminés. C'est donc surtout dans Fhyperplasie bénigne de la prostate que le finastéride a déjà été testé. Par ailleurs, on connaît également l'extrait de Serenoa Repens, comme référence en tant qu'inhibiteur de la 5α-réductase, l'extrait de Serenoa Repens présentant l'avantage, par rapport au finastéride, d'être d'origine naturelle en tant qu'extrait végétal permettant une meilleure comparaison pour des produits testés également d'origine naturelle. Serenoa Repens, également connu sous la dénomination Sabal serrulatum, est un petit palmier que l'on peut trouver aux Etats-Unis (Floride) en Afrique du Nord et en Espagne.Androgenic alopecia, whose pathophysiology is very close to that of acne, is the most common alopecia and probably the one where the demand for therapy is the highest. 5α-reductase seems to play a key role in this pathology. In fact, men suffering from a genetic deficiency in the 5cc-reductase type 2 isoenzyme do not develop androgenetic alopecia. In view of the above, research has focused on the development of 5α-reductase inhibitors. Some steroids like progesterone have been tested for this, but its rapid metabolism makes it ineffective in vivo. To be active, the 5α-reductase inhibitor must be stable enough to block the activity of the enzyme in vitro. Finasteride, a competitive steroidal inhibitor, fulfills this condition, but it is more active on the type 2 isoenzyme than on the type 1 isoenzyme and these two isoenzymes have only 50% homology on the sequence of their acids. amines. It is therefore especially in benign prostatic hyperplasia that finasteride has already been tested. Furthermore, the Serenoa Repens extract is also known, as a reference as a 5α-reductase inhibitor, the Serenoa Repens extract having the advantage, compared to the finasteride, of being of natural origin in as a plant extract allowing a better comparison for tested products also of natural origin. Serenoa Repens, also known as Sabal serrulatum, is a small palm that can be found in the United States (Florida) in North Africa and in Spain.

1.4 Evaluation des effets Après la période d'incubation, les cellules ont été soumises à l'action des ultrasons dans le milieu MIF. Les lysats cellulaires ainsi obtenus ont été extraits par du dichlorométhane. Après évaporation, les résidus secs ont été repris dans du méthanol et ont été déposés sur des plaques de silice 60F254 (MERCK, référence 5554). Des standards non radiomarqués, la testostérone, la 5α-dihydrotestostérone et l'androstènedione, ont été déposés sur chacune des plaques.1.4 Assessment of effects After the incubation period, the cells were subjected to the action of ultrasound in the MIF medium. The cell lysates thus obtained were extracted with dichloromethane. After evaporation, the dry residues were taken up in methanol and were deposited on silica plates 60F 254 (MERCK, reference 5554). Non-radiolabelled standards, testosterone, 5α-dihydrotestosterone and androstenedione, were deposited on each of the plates.
Le solvant de migration était un mélange de dichlorométhane et d'éther (7:3, v/v) A la fin de la migration, les plaques de silices ont été lues à l'aide d'un scanner de radioactivité BERTHOLD. Les standards non radiomarqués ont été mis en évidence par pulvérisation d'acide sulfurique à 5 % (v/v) sur les plaques de chromatographie chauffées ensuite à 100°C pendant 10 minutes.The migration solvent was a mixture of dichloromethane and ether (7: 3, v / v) At the end of the migration, the silica plates were read using a BERTHOLD radioactivity scanner. The non-radiolabelled standards were demonstrated by spraying 5% (v / v) sulfuric acid on the chromatography plates then heated to 100 ° C for 10 minutes.
La comparaison des Rf (facteur de rétention relatif) déterminés pour les standards avec ceux obtenus pour les différents métabolites radioactifs a permis l'identification de ces derniers.The comparison of the Rf (relative retention factor) determined for the standards with those obtained for the different radioactive metabolites allowed the identification of the latter.
La métabolisation de la testostérone en 5 -dihydrotestostérone dans les différentes conditions expérimentales a été calculée : les résultats (aires des pics de 5α- dihydrotestostérone comptés par le scanner BERTHOLD) sont exprimés en pmol de 5α-DHT formées par μg d'ADN. Ils ont aussi été exprimés en pourcentage de l'activité 5α-réductase présente dans le groupe 'cellules témoin'. Le dosage du contenu total en ADN a été effectué à l'aide d'un colorant nucléaire fluorecent (Hoechst 33258) par fluorométrie (excitation 356 nm, émission .458 nm).The metabolism of testosterone to 5 -dihydrotestosterone under the various experimental conditions was calculated: the results (areas of the peaks of 5α-dihydrotestosterone counted by the BERTHOLD scanner) are expressed in pmol of 5α-DHT formed by μg of DNA. They were also expressed as a percentage of the 5α-reductase activity present in the “control cells” group. The determination of the total DNA content was carried out using a fluorecent nuclear dye (Hoechst 33258) by fluorometry (excitation 356 nm, emission .458 nm).
1.5 - Traitement des données1.5 - Data processing
Les groupes de données (groupe témoin et groupes traités) ont été traités par une analyse de la variance à un facteur (ANONA 1, p<0,05), suivie par un test de DUΝΝETT (p<0,05).
