Summary: Manure has traditionally been used as a nutrient source in grain crop production worldwide. Irrigation benefits water use efficiency in winter wheat during dry seasons, while manure application improves WUE in winter wheat but decreases it in summer maize. Fertilization strategies have a minor effect on annual water use efficiency of the wheat-maize system.

Summary: This Mendelian randomization study found that higher levels of endogenous 17 beta-estradiol (E2) were associated with increased risk of estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer and endometrioid subtype of endometrial cancer, but no significant association was found with other cancers.

Summary: The route of estrogen administration and formulation of estrogen in hormone therapy for postmenopausal women are associated with the risk of hypertension. Oral estrogen is associated with a higher risk of hypertension, while transdermal, vaginal, or intramuscular estrogen is associated with a lower risk. Conjugated equine estrogen is associated with an increased risk, while estradiol or estrone is not. The duration and cumulative dose of estrogen use are positively associated with the risk of hypertension.

Summary: In a 17-year study, researchers found an association between hormonal replacement therapy (HRT) and a reduced risk of late onset asthma in menopausal women, with a dose-response relationship showing that longer duration of HRT use was linked to a greater reduction in asthma onset risk.

Summary: Composite microfiltration polyethersulfone membranes with molecularly imprinted particles (MIPs) were developed for efficient and selective adsorption of 17β-estradiol from water. The membranes exhibited significant adsorption loading and high selectivity for 17β-estradiol, even in the presence of other micropollutants. The membranes also showed excellent reusability and a maximum adsorption capacity more than 200 times higher than commercial nanofiltration.

Summary: An LC-based aptasensor has been developed to detect 17 beta-estradiol (E2) at picomolar levels by utilizing competitive reactions and interfacial events. The aptasensor changes the optical response of liquid crystals (LCs) through electrostatic interactions with a cationic surfactant (CTAB) and the aptamer. The conformational change of the aptamer due to binding with E2 weakens the electrostatic attraction, resulting in a dark optical image. The E2 sensor showed a detection limit of 3.1 pM in TBS and 6.8 pM in human urine, demonstrating high sensitivity and selectivity without the need for complex analysis equipment.

Summary: This study investigated the changes in sexual hormones in dogs during puberty using hair and nail samples to analyze the concentrations of testosterone (T), 17 beta-estradiol (E2), and progesterone (P4). Traditional methods using blood samples are not suitable for long-term studies, but hair and nails have been identified as suitable retrospective biological specimens. The results showed significant increases in T levels in male dogs and E2 levels at puberty and P4 levels after puberty in female dogs. Hair and nail T and nail P4 concentrations could differentiate between male and female dogs at specific sampling times. This study demonstrates the usefulness of hair and nails as biological specimens for studying the changes in T, E2, and P4 during the peripubertal period in dogs.

Summary: Estrogens have a protective effect against weight gain and metabolic disruption in women and female rodents, which is associated with modifications in gut microbiota. However, transplanting gut microbiota from estrogen-treated lean mice, with or without Akkermansia muciniphila, did not prevent high fat diet-induced body weight gain, fat mass gain, and hyperglycemia in estrogen-deficient recipients. In fact, supplementation of A. muciniphila worsened metabolic health in estrogen-deficient female rodents with a high fat diet.

Summary: This study aimed to verify the feasibility of using fur, claws, and dewclaws to measure 17-beta-estradiol and testosterone concentrations in postpubertal cats during the breeding season. Both fur and claws were shown to be suitable for measuring sexual hormones, and the levels of these hormones could be distinguished between male and female cats using these materials.

Summary: In this study, the metabolic mechanisms of testosterone and 17β-estradiol were compared by transcriptome analysis in C. testosteroni JLU460ET for the first time. The results showed that both substrates induced similar upregulated genes, but the induction level was higher for testosterone. A 100 kb steroid-degrading gene cluster and its associated genes were also revealed by transcriptome analysis.

Summary: Understanding the impact of different agricultural practices on soil microbiome is crucial, especially in terms of fertilizer type and application frequency. In this study, fallow land was found to be richer in certain specific taxa, while exclusive use of inorganic fertilizer and combined fertilizer treatments resulted in significant differences in bacterial and archaeal community structure and abundance.

Summary: The study found that 17-alpha-ethinyl-estradiol and 17-beta-estradiol can inhibit the intestinal absorption of proline and taurine mediated by PAT1 without major effects on other solute carriers; this inhibition can reduce the maximal uptake capacity of PAT1 and potentially affect the absorption of PAT1 substrates in vivo.
