Abstract
The chemotaxis of C. fetus subsp. venerealis and C. fetus subsp. fetus was determined in the presence of bovine cervical mucus and bovine placental extract. Some reported substances and ion in those materials, such amino acids, ferrous iron, hormones, sugars and organic acids were also investigated. Bovine cervical mucus, bovine placenta extracts and some substances and ion of these materials namely L–fucose, L– aspartate, L–glutamate, L–serine, ferrous iron, fumarate, pyruvate and succinate were chemoattractants. The chemottraction was significantly larger in higher concentrations of the tested substances and ion and significant differences among tested strains were also observed. Meso-erythritol and hormones bovine placental lactogen, 17β-estradiol, and progesterone did not elicit chemotactical response. In conclusion, this chemotactic behavior may guide the C. fetus navigation in the bovine host's genital tract and be an important cofactor of tissue tropism for this bacterium.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Detection of estrogens in the environment has raised concerns in recent years because of their potential to affect both wildlife and humans. OBJECTIVES We compared exposures to prescribed and naturally occurring estrogens in drinking water to exposures to naturally occurring background levels of estrogens in the diet of children and adults and to four independently derived acceptable daily intakes (ADIs) to determine whether drinking water intakes are larger or smaller than dietary intake or ADIs. METHODS We used the Pharmaceutical Assessment and Transport Evaluation (PhATE) model to predict concentrations of estrogens potentially present in drinking water. Predicted drinking water concentrations were combined with default water intake rates to estimate drinking water exposures. Predicted drinking water intakes were compared to dietary intakes and also to ADIs. We present comparisons for individual estrogens as well as combined estrogens. RESULTS In the analysis we estimated that a child's exposures to individual prescribed estrogens in drinking water are 730-480,000 times lower (depending upon estrogen type) than exposure to background levels of naturally occurring estrogens in milk. A child's exposure to total estrogens in drinking water (prescribed and naturally occurring) is about 150 times lower than exposure from milk. Adult margins of exposure (MOEs) based on total dietary exposure are about 2 times smaller than those for children. Margins of safety (MOSs) for an adult's exposure to total prescribed estrogens in drinking water vary from about 135 to > 17,000, depending on ADI. MOSs for exposure to total estrogens in drinking water are about 2 times lower than MOSs for prescribed estrogens. Depending on the ADI that is used, MOSs for young children range from 28 to 5,120 for total estrogens (including both prescribed and naturally occurring sources) in drinking water. CONCLUSIONS The consistently large MOEs and MOSs strongly suggest that prescribed and total estrogens that may potentially be present in drinking water in the United States are not causing adverse effects in U.S. residents, including sensitive subpopulations.

Abstract
Natural and xenobiotic compounds having sex-related actions have long been used for growth promotion and various changes in carcass quality in meat animals. The first compounds used were synthetic estrogens; however, later on a whole battery of compounds having androgenic, and progestogenic actions have also been involved. In surveying the effects of these compounds in meat-producing animals, it became clear that these drugs increase the growth rate of the treated animals and bring about changes in the carcass that are generally characterized by lower fat content and more lean mass. Extensive studies undertaken in various countries, including the European Economic Community (EEC), have shown that if used according to good husbandry practices, the meat from treated animals does not have excessive amounts of residues compared with the endogenous amount of steroid production in the animals in question and also in human beings. The banning of these compounds in the European community brought a new phenomenon of illegal or black market cocktails. These mixtures of anabolic steroids are injected into the body of the animals rather than implanted in the ears, which is the normal practice in countries where they have not yet been banned. Several screening and confirmatory methods are now available for monitoring programs. However, these programs need excessive resources in terms of manpower, funds, and proper legislation, which in underdeveloped countries is questionable, particularly in the absence of strong scientific evidence for the exercise.

Abstract
Immunoassay techniques using the highly specific and sensitive nature of immunological reactions have been developed and applied in the food industry for detecting the naturally occurring constituents, antibiotics, pesticide residues, microorganisms, and fragments of microbial constituents related to food analysis, food production, food processing, and food safety. Both polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies are employed for the development of the various immunoassay systems, including enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) and radioimmunoassay (RIA). Immunoassay techniques provide complementary and/or alternate approaches in reducing the use of costly, sophisticated equipment and analysis time, but still maintaining reliability and improved sensitivity. Immunoassay techniques in their most simple forms provide excellent screening tools to detect adulteration and contaminations qualitatively. The application of immunoassay techniques contributes tremendously to the quality control and safety of our food supply.

Abstract
Multiparous lactating beef cows were observed for estrus and randomly assigned to one of four Luprostiol (13, thia-PG-F(2)alpha analog) treatment groups receiving 3.8 (LI), 7.5 (LII), 15 (LIII) or 30 (LIV) mg Luprostiol, respectively, or to an untreated control group (C), or to a positive control group (E) receiving 500 mcg Estrumate. Cows received their respective treatments in a single dosage on Day 7, 8 or 9 of the estrous cycle (estrus = Day 0) and were artificially inseminated 12 h following the subsequent estrus. Blood samples were collected from all groups immediately prior to treatment and at 12-h intervals to 48 h post treatment and analyzed for progesterone (P(4)). Blood samples were collected at 3-h intervals from 24 to 72 h post treatment for animals in Group LIII and for 48 h (or observed estrus) starting on Day 19 of the estrous cycle for animals in Group C. These samples were analyzed for estradiol-17beta(E(2)), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). Treatment with Luprostiol at doses >/= 7.5 mg resulted in a synchronous estrous response during the first 5 d post treatment in 75 to 95% of cows treated. Luteal function, as evaluated by systemic P(4) concentration, paralleled results observed for estrous response. Treatment with a 15 or 30 mg dose of Luprostiol resulted in greater overall pregnancy rate at synchronized estrus. No biologically significant differences were found in blood levels of E(2), FSH or LH around the time of estrus between cows in Groups C and LIII. Results from these studies indicate treatment with Luprostiol at doses >/= 7.5 mg resulted in a synchronous estrus during the first 5 d after treatment. Pregnancy rates and endocrine changes were similar to those observed in control and Estrumate-treated cows.

Abstract
Bovine jugular venous blood was collected, with and without heparin, and aliquoted into 140 12-ml tubes. Four subsamples (two heparinized and two coagulated) were centrifuged immediately (time zero) and plasma or serum was aspirated and stored at -20 degrees C. One-half of the remaining subsamples were stored at 4 degrees C and the other one-half at 25 degrees C (room temperature). At 1-h intervals (0 to 24 h), 6-h intervals (24 to 72 h) and at 96 and 120 h, four subsamples (heparinized and coagulated at both 4 degrees C and 25 degrees C) were centrifuged, plasma or serum was aspirated and stored at -20 degrees C. Whole blood incubation for 1 h at 25 degrees C reduced mean plasma and serum progesterone (P(4)) concentration (P<0.05). Similarly, whole blood incubation at 4 degrees C for 2 and 3 h, respectively, reduced mean plasma and serum P(4) concentration (P<0.05). No difference was found in mean P(4) concentration between plasma and serum samples harvested from whole blood incubated at 4 degrees C or 25 degrees C. Concentration of estradiol-17beta (E(2)) and estrone (E(1)) fluctuated over time, irrespective of holding temperature. There was a blood type, heparinized or coagulated, by time interaction (P<0.01) for both E(2) and E(1) concentrations It was concluded that incubation time and temperature between collection and centrifugation of bovine blood samples influenced the assayable P(4) concentration in both plasma and serum. In contrast, incubation temperature had no effect on assayable E(2) and E(1) concentrations, but assayable E(2) and E(1) over time were differentially affected, depending on whether plasma or serum was assayed.

Abstract
A multi-residue HETLC (High Efficiency Thin Layer Chromatography) screening procedure for 17 beta-oestradiol, diethylstilboesterol (DES), zearalanol (zeranol), zearalenone and their metabolites oestrone, zearalanone, and zearalenol is described. The anabolic oestrogens were analyzed on HETLC plates coated with silica gel and were developed in methylene chloride:methanol: 2-propanol (97:1:2 v/v). The spots were visualized by exposure to iodine vapours and subsequently sprayed with 1% starch solution. Analysis of standards by HETLC at 4 degrees C as a seven-component mixture showed six discrete bands with mean Rfs of 0.37 (oestrone), 0.35 (zearalanone and zearalenone), 0.26 (t-DES), 0.23 (oestradiol), 0.17 (zearalenol and zearalanol), and 0.15 (c-DES). Chicken muscle tissues (1, 2.5, or 5 g) were extracted with 95% acetone. Extracts were then fortified with 50-250 ng each of the anabolic oestrogens, purified in alumina and ion-exchange columns and analyzed by HETLC. Oestradiol, zeranol or DES in fortified tissue extracts were clearly detected when an equivalent of 4 ng were analyzed by HETLC after purification in alumina and ion-exchange columns. The intensity of their bands suggested near quantitative recovery when compared to intensity of bands of known amounts of standards. The described extraction, purification, and TLC procedures can be used to screen these oestrogens at low ppb amounts in chicken muscle tissues and should be applicable to screen tissues of cattle and sheep.

Abstract
Ethyl ether extracts derived from coffee were tested for in vitro estrogenic and in vivo uterotropic activities. Coffee extracts, unlike tea and cocoa, were found to actively compete with 17 beta-estradiol for uterine cytosol binding sites. The biologically active fractions possessed an unique ultraviolet absorbance spectrum that excluded them from containing flavonoid, coumestan, or resorcyclic acid lactone constituents. Coffee extracts administered to immature female mice for 3 d in feeding studies displayed significant (p less than 0.05) uterotropic responses, which were similar to results obtained in mice treated with a standard 17 beta-estradiol dose. Additional studies in mice disclosed that coffee extracts did not reduce the uterotropic effect normally induced by 17 beta-estradiol when administered simultaneously with estradiol. The complete estrogenic effects of coffee constituents, coupled with their failure to inhibit a biological response evoked by estradiol, strongly suggest that coffee contains constituent(s) that are weakly estrogenic.
