The effect of hormones on some fungi in vitro

Abstract: Zusammenfassung Die Wirkung von Sexualhormonen (Stilböstrol, Östron, Äthinylöstradiol, Progesteron, Testosteronpropionat), Epiphysenhormonen, Schilddrüsenhormonen und Nebennieren‐rindenhormonen auf das Wachstum von Candida albicans, Mikrosporum gypseum und Aspergillus niger wurde in vitro untersucht. Stilböstrol stimulierte in kleinen Dosen (0,001 mg/ml) das Wachstum von Candida albicans und Mikrosporum gypseum, während es in höheren Dosen (6 mg/ml) eine fungizide Wirkung aufwies. Eine Hemmwirkung wurde beob… Show more

“…Candida response to in vitro growth in the presence of steroids is, on the whole, neutral with steroids exerting no effect on this growth one way or another. Therefore, oestriol, oestrone, oestradiol benzoate, ethinyl oestradiol, testosterone and progesterone did not affect the growth of C. albicans (47,83). Two reports, however, claimed that dexamethasone has a growth-enhancing effect on C. albicans (40,53).…”
