Table 1. Dose-response curves of testosterone (T4) and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) effects on the motility and viability of cysticerci of Taenia crassiceps ORF strain.

T 4 dose (nM) Viability (%) DHT dose (nM) Viability (%)
0 100 ± 0 0 100 ± 0
0.5 100 ± 0 0.5 100 ± 0
1.0 100 ± 0 1.0 85 ± 0
2.0 75 ± 12 2.0 70 ± 0
4.0 50 ± 7 4.0 40 ± 11
8 10 ± 0 8 0 ± 1
16 0 ± 0 16 0 ± 0

Data represents mean ± SD from 6 experiments with six wells by dose, and 10 cisticerci by well. The media and hormones were changed every other day, and cysticerci were in culture a total of 10 days.
