Propylthiouracil 51-54 cytochrome P450, family 11, subfamily a, polypeptide 1 Rattus norvegicus 229-236 12922945-8 2003 PTU (12 mM) inhibited the activities of both the cytochrome P450 side-chain cleavage enzyme (P450scc, conversion of 25-hydroxyl cholesterol to pregnenolone) and the 3beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (conversion of pregnenolone to progesterone) in rat granulosa cells. Propylthiouracil 0-3 cytochrome P450, family 11, subfamily a, polypeptide 1 Rattus norvegicus 49-91 12922945-8 2003 PTU (12 mM) inhibited the activities of both the cytochrome P450 side-chain cleavage enzyme (P450scc, conversion of 25-hydroxyl cholesterol to pregnenolone) and the 3beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (conversion of pregnenolone to progesterone) in rat granulosa cells. Propylthiouracil 0-3 cytochrome P450, family 11, subfamily a, polypeptide 1 Rattus norvegicus 93-100 12135875-8 2002 PTU inhibited pregnenolone production (i.e., it diminished the function of P450(scc) in Leydig cells). Propylthiouracil 0-3 cytochrome P450, family 11, subfamily a, polypeptide 1 Rattus norvegicus 75-84 12135875-10 2002 These results suggest that PTU acts directly on rat Leydig cells to diminish testosterone production by inhibiting P450(scc) function and StAR expression. Propylthiouracil 27-30 cytochrome P450, family 11, subfamily a, polypeptide 1 Rattus norvegicus 115-124 20924043-4 2010 Notably, we found that PTU treatment enhanced the conversion of cholesterol into pregnenolone, whereas the protein level of the cytochrome P450 side-chain cleavage enzyme (P450scc, which is the enzyme responding to this conversion) was not affected. Propylthiouracil 23-26 cytochrome P450, family 11, subfamily a, polypeptide 1 Rattus norvegicus 172-179
