چکیده

A mixture of androsterone and clofibrate (atromid) lowers the blood cholesterol and triglycerides (Oliver, 1962). Clofibrate without androsterone (atromid-S) appears to have the same effect on the serum lipids (Oliver, 1963; Hellman et al., 1963). Atromid lowers platelet stickiness (Carson et al., 1963a, b) which is increased in patients with ischamic heart disease (McDonald and Edgill, 1957); the effects of atromid and atromid-S on platelet stickiness have now been compared, and the findings, reported below, are related to changes in the blood lipids.

Effect of atromid and its components on uric acid excretion and on gout.

In the early studies on atromid, which is ethyl p-chlorophenoxyisobutyric acid (clofibrate or C.P.I.B.) with androsterone, Thorp (1962) reported that, in monkeys, this preparation increased uric acid excretion in addition to lowering plasma lipids. Also Oliver (1962) reported that atromid lowered serum uric acid levels in patients with ischaemic heart disease. We therefore investigated its poss...

Communications. Action of Atromid-S (clofibrate) on intra-ocular pressure.

CHANGES in the levels of the blood lipids during attacks of acute closed-angle glaucoma were studied by Hanisch, Blumenfeld, and Hegeduis (1966), who found that there was a rise in the concentration of.the non-esterified fatty acids during the attack. Accordingly Orbain, Hanisch, and Vereb (1966) treated this condition with a single dose of 15 g. Atromid-S (clofibrate) and claimed that the atta...

a-p-Chlorophenoxyisobutyrate (CPIB) or a mixture of CPIBwith a small amount of androsterone (Atromid) fed to rats a t a level of 0.3% of the diet was found to increase the liver weight by about 25%, and to decrease the cholesterol concentration in liver by about 10% and in plasma by about 30%. No change in rate of growth or of food consumption was observed. The rate of cholesterol biosynthesis ...
