Treatment of immature mice with both follicle-stimulating hormone and human chorionic gonadotrophin in vivo resulted in large increases in the specific activities of ovarian alkaline phosphatase and alkaline nucleotidase. The specific activities of other ovarian enzymes studied were not altered by gonadotrophin treatment. A simultaneous change in the Michaelis constant of ovarian alkaline phosp...

The effects of heat treatment of serum samples on the hormone analyses used in this laboratory were studied. Total T4, testosterone, progesterone, and growth hormone were not systematically affected by heat treatment over the whole range of analyte concentrations studied; for thyroid stimulating hormone, no effect was noted on serum samples with concentrations of less than 10 mU/l. Significant ...

Uterine fibroids are benign monoclonal neoplasms of the myometrium, representing most common tumors in women worldwide. To date, no long-term or noninvasive treatment option exists for hormone-dependent uterine fibroids, due to limited knowledge about molecular mechanisms underlying initiation and development fibroids.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The effects of calcitriol and paricalcitol on circulating levels of intact parathyroid hormone, parathyroid hormone-(1-84), the large carboxy-terminal-parathyroid hormone fragments, and the parathyroid hormone-(1-84)/carboxy-terminal-parathyroid hormone fragments were studied. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS In the longitudinal study, 31 hemodialysis pa...

Background: This study was designed to suggest the possibility of hormone-related derangement in salvage radiotherapy (SRT) after radical prostatectomy in terms of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) control. Materials and Methods: Among 160 consecutive prostate cancer patients who received radical prostatectomy, 34 with SRT between 2004 and 2012 were retrospectively reviewed. The numbers of patien...
