Aims-To assess the pharmacokinetics of oral, intramuscular, or transdermal hormone replacement in patients with p thalassaemia major. Methods-Oral (testosterone undecanoate 40 mg) and intramuscular (testosterone propionate 15 mg, phenylpropionate 30 mg, isocaproate 30 mg and decanoate 50 mg) testosterone and transdermal (1711 oestradiol 25 jug and 50 ,ug) oestradiol were evaluated in 21 male (1...
متن کاملPlatelet derived malonyldialdehyde production in patients with thalassaemia major.
Malonyldialdehyde, a product of membrane lipid peroxidation, was measured in the platelets of 16 normal subjects after stimulation with a variety of aggregating and stimulating agents. Nethylmaleimide and hydrogen peroxide generated the largest amounts of malonyldialdehyde. These agents were used to stimulate platelets from 11 patients with thalassaemia major suffering from iron overload due to...
متن کاملEndocrinopathy in thalassaemia major.
Pituitary, adrenal, and pancreatic functions were investigated in 9 patients with thalassaemia major. 9 a.m. plasma ACTH values were 148-480 pg/ml (normal range 15-70 pg/ml). Cortisol and growth hormone response to insulin-induced hypoglycaemia was normal in all. 24-hour urinary excretions of 17-ketosteroids and 17-hydroxycorticosteroids were normal. There was normal cortisol response to intram...
