TL;DR: In vitro experiments suggest that 5α-DHB is an agonist of toad testicular GR, decreasing the activity of the key enzyme for androgen synthesis, the cytochrome P450 17-hydroxylase, C17,20-lyase.

TL;DR: In a paper on fat, Ciaccio has figured various neurones, some of the toad, containing large spherical hollow bodies, which stain by Sudan III in formalin-fixed postchromed material.

TL;DR: It is concluded that cadmium induced changes lead to inhibition of androgen synthesis in the toad testis.
Abstract: The enzyme 17 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (17 beta-HSD) has been shown to exist biochemically and histochemically in the toad testis. A single injection of cadmium chloride (0.5 mg/toad) resulted 7 days later in reduced 17 beta-HSD activity in the testis and decreased serum testosterone with an increase in thumb pad glycogen content. It is concluded that cadmium induced changes lead to inhibition of androgen synthesis in the toad testis.

TL;DR: When active Na+ transport across the toad urinary bladder was abolished by ouabain, a 'reversed' short circuit current could be induced by an Na+ concentration gradient, which appears to represent net Na+ movement 'backwards' through epithelial cells which normally participate in active Na+.
