Clostridium innocuum, an opportunistic gut pathogen, inactivates host gut progesterone and arrests ovarian follicular development

M.-J. Chen, C.-H. Chou, T.-H. Hsiao, T.-Y. Wu, C.-Y. Li, Y.-L. Chen, K.-H. Chao, T.-H. Lee, R. Gicana, C.-J. Shih, G.-J. Brandon-Mong, Y.-L. Lai, P.-T. Li, Y.-L. Tseng, P.-H. Wang, Y.-R. Chiang

This study identifies Clostridium innocuum as a gut bacterium that inactivates progesterone by converting it to epipregnanolone, leading to decreased serum progesterone and follicular arrest in mice.

The anti-platelet drug cilostazol enhances interrenal steroidogenesis and exerts a scant effect on innate immune responses in zebrafish

W.-C. Chang, M.-J. Chen, Y.-F. Chen, C.-W. Chou, Y.-J. Chuang, Y.-W. Liu

This study shows cilostazol enhances steroidogenesis in zebrafish interrenal tissue but has minimal impact on innate immune responses during tissue injury and repair.

Circulating androgen regulation by androgen-catabolizing gut bacteria in male mouse gut

T.-H. Hsiao, C.-H. Chou, Y.-L. Chen, P.-H. Wang, G.-J. B. Mong, T.-H. Lee, T.-Y. Wu, P.-T. Li, C.-W. Li, Y.-L. Lai, Y.-L. Tseng, C.-J. Shih, M.-J. Chen, Y.-R. Chiang

This study shows that oral administration of Thauera sp. strain GDN1 reduces serum androgen levels in male mice by catabolizing androgens in the gut.
