Correspondence to be addressed to: Dr.T.G. Shrivastav, E-mail:[email protected] Summary Preparation of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) carbamide that is HRP linked to urea (HRP-carbamide/HRP-U) is demonstrated and its potential application in the development of enzyme immunoassays (EIAs) for haptens is described. In this new strategy, the lysine residues of HRP were acylated and then acylat...

BACKGROUND Recombiant human erythropoietin (epoetin) has greatly contributed to improvement of the anemia of chronic renal failure patients on hemodialysis. However, the reduced erythropoietic effect to epoetin and its high cost have induced lots of supplementary treatments. Therefore, we performed a prospective study to evaluate the effects of adjuvant low-dose androgen therapy in patients usi...

AIM To investigate the reversibility of the effect of nandrolone decanoate (ND) on sperm parameters after discontinuing the drug. METHODS Three groups of rats received peanut oil (control), low and high doses of ND for 14 weeks, respectively. Each group was divided into subgroups A and B, in which rats were killed 14 and 28 weeks after initiating the injection, respectively. RESULTS Sperm c...

Highly satisfactory results obtained with improvement was seen in two still under 50 mg./week nandrolone decanoate treatment. Once therapy had been com(Deca-Durabolin) for 3-16 months are menced, there was a period of latency reported in 10 cases of aplastic anemia. which fluctuated between 1 and 9 In the series thus treated there were only months. Except for one patient with two deaths, occurr...

Anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) are used in high doses by athletes to improve athletic ability, physical appearance, and muscle mass. Unfortunately, the abuse of these agents has significantly increased. It has been established that exercise and high doses of AAS may influence the hypothalamic-pituitary gonadal (H-P-G) axis, which can in turn affect the ultrastructure of the testes. However,...

Background: Anabolic-androgenic steroids are used at high doses by athletes for improving athletic ability, physical appearance and muscle mass. Unfortunately, the abuse of these agents has significantly increased. It has been established that exercise and high doses of anabolic-androgenic steroids may influence the hypothalamic- pituitary-testis axis, which can in turn affect testicular apopto...
