まとめ
メスの斑点ヒエナは,アンドロステンジオンの濃度が高いため,男性のような生殖器を持っている. ヒエナの限られたアロマターゼ活性が,この前駆体をテストステロンに変換し,ウイルス化を引き起こし,卵巣の発達に潜在的に影響を与えます.
科学分野:
- 比較内分泌学とは
- 生殖生物学 生殖生物学
- 哺乳類生理学について
背景:
- 斑点ヒエナの雌は,独特の男性化された外部生殖器と社会的優位性を発揮します.
- 女性斑点ヒエナのこれらの表型特性の基礎にあるホルモンメカニズムは,まだ完全に理解されていません.
研究 の 目的:
- 斑点ヒエナの卵巣および胎盤組織のステロイド性活性を調査するために.
- アンドロステンディオンの役割とその変換酵素が雌ヒエナのヴァリリゼーションに及ぼす影響を明らかにする.
主な方法:
- ステロイドホルモン産生を測定するために,斑点ヒエナの卵巣組織をインビートロインキュベーション.
- アロマターゼと17β-ヒドロキシステロイド脱水素酶の活性を比較した酵素測定は,ヒエナとヒトの胎盤同質体におけるものです.
主要な成果:
- ヒエナの卵巣組織は,かなりの量のアンドロステンジオンを生成しました.
- アロマターゼの活性度は,ヒトの胎盤と比較して,ヒエナ胎盤において有意に低かった.
- 17β-ヒドロキシステロイド脱水素酵素の活性度は,ヒエナとヒトの胎盤同質体の間で比較可能であった.
結論:
- 斑点ヒエナの低胎盤アロマターゼ活性は,アンドロステンジオンからのテストステロン産生を好み,胎児の外部生殖器のヴァリリゼーションにつながる可能性があります.
- 卵巣のストロマ細胞によるアンドロステンディオンの生成は,成人女性における男性化の表遺伝的伝播に寄与する.

X-Inactivation
The human X chromosome contains over ten times the number of genes as in the Y chromosome. Since males have only one X chromosome, and females have two, one might expect females to produce twice as many of the proteins, with undesirable results.
The Y Chromosome Determines Maleness
The Y chromosome is a sex chromosome found in several vertebrates and mammals, including humans. In addition to 22 pairs of autosomes, the human males have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome. In these organisms, the presence or absence of the Y chromosome determines the development of male traits.
Evolution
Around 300 million years ago, the two sex chromosomes diverged from two identical autosomal chromosomes. Over time, the Y chromosome has lost most of its genes, shrinking in size. Today,...

The Ratio of X Chromosome to Autosomes
In most organisms, sex is determined by the ratio of X and Y chromosomes. However, in some organisms, such as Drosophila and C.elegans, sex is determined by the ratio of the number of X chromosomes to the number of sets of autosomes. The Y chromosome in Drosophila is active but does not determine sex. It contains genes responsible for the production of sperms in adult flies.
Normal male Drosophila has a ratio of one X chromosome to two sets of autosomes. In contrast, normal female Drosophila...

Development of the Sexual Organs in the Embryo and Fetus
Development of the reproductive organs in an embryo starts from a bipotential state. This means the early embryo can develop either male or female reproductive organs. The formation of these organs begins with the growth of gonadal ridges that arise from the intermediate mesoderm during the fifth week of development.
Near the gonadal ridges, two duct systems are present: the mesonephric ducts (Wolffian ducts) and paramesonephric ducts (Müllerian ducts). These ducts form the basis for the male...
