Individual dogs are followed for the duration of their lives to understand the biological and environmental factors that influence dog longevity.

A popular arthritis medication for dogs has sickened thousands of pets and likely caused others to die, the Food and Drug Administration said in an urgent warning. Dangerous side effects from the ...
Steroidogenesis.Trilostane inhibits 3β-HSD. Trilostane is a steroidogenesis inhibitor. [1] It is specifically an inhibitor of 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3β-HSD). [1] [15] As a result of this action, trilostane blocks the conversion of Δ 5-3β-hydroxysteroids, including pregnenolone, 17α-hydroxypregnenolone, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), and androstenediol, into Δ 4-3-ketosteroids ...
