A nonlabeled method to evaluate cortisol production rate by modeling plasma CBG-free cortisol disposition.
This study aimed to develop a nonlabeled method for the measurement of cortisol production rate to evaluate adrenal function. The cortisol production rate determination requires that of cortisol clearance, which is not a parameter but a variable resulting from the saturable binding of cortisol to corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG). Our method is based on evaluation of the plasma clearance of...
متن کاملMetformin is a superior substrate for renal organic cation transporter OCT2 rather than hepatic OCT1.
Although metformin, a cationic agent for type II diabetes, shows its pharmacological effect in the liver, the drug is mainly eliminated into urine. The tissue selectivity based on the function of drug transporters is unclear. In the present study, the transport of metformin was examined using HEK293 cells transiently transfected with five human renal organic ion transporter cDNAs. Human OCT1 an...
متن کاملLoss of dopamine transporter binding in Parkinson's disease follows a single exponential rather than linear decline.
UNLABELLED Imaging of L-dopa uptake or dopamine transporter binding can monitor the progression of Parkinson's disease. Most follow-up studies have provided data best fitted by a linear decline of their outcome measure. However, in these studies, patients were repeatedly scanned during their first years after a diagnosis had been established. METHODS We followed 6 patients with early Parkinso...
متن کاملDeprenyl Can Mediate Neuronal Protection Rather than Neuronal Rescue
Background and Objective: Deprenyl is a drug for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease, where the dopaminergic neurons are the target of this drug. Several reports also documented that deprenyl has an effect on the sensory and motor neurons. There are some reports about the mode of action of deprenyl on m...
متن کاملSarcopenia: describing rather than defining a condition
BACKGROUND Traditional definitions of sarcopenia have described an aging-associated disorder roughly defined as muscle mass two standard deviations below the young adult demographic. In an effort to clear the ambiguity pertaining to such descriptions, two international bodies have put forth working definitions of sarcopenia, namely The Society of Sarcopenia, Cachexia and Wasting Disorders in 20...
