Rate My Professor Susan Dalterio

Dr. Dalterio's research specializes in the effects of cannabinoids like Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol on male reproductive functions in mice, examining influences on spermatogenesis, testosterone production, fertility, the pituitary-gonadal axis, and interactions with substances such as ethanol and diazepam. She has produced 64 publications documented on ResearchGate, accumulating over 2,374 citations. Notable works include 'Cannabinoids in Male Mice: Effects on Fertility and Spermatogenesis' (Science, 1982), 'Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol Increases Plasma Testosterone Concentrations in Mice' (Science, 1981), 'Perinatal Exposure to Cannabinoids Alters Male Reproductive Function in Mice' (Science, 1979), 'Cannabinoids Inhibit Testosterone Secretion by Mouse Testes in Vitro' (Science, 1977), 'Prolactin and Growth Hormone Do Not Interfere with the Response of Mouse Testes to hCG In Vitro' (Endocrinology, 1982), 'Effects of Δ9-THC on Plasma Hormone Levels in Female Mice' (Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior, 1983), and 'Reversal of Short Photoperiod-Induced Sterility in Male Hamsters by Ectopic Pituitary Homografts' (2008). Her studies also address perinatal exposures, hormonal regulations, photoperiod-induced sterility, and neurotransmitter alterations, contributing to knowledge on abused substances' impacts on neuroendocrine and reproductive systems.
