    Journal of Clinical and Basic Cardiology An Independent International Scientific Journal Journal of Clinical and Basic Cardiology 1999; 2 (2), 213-217 Comparison of the antiischaemic and antianginal effects of nicorandil and amlodipine in patients with symptomatic stable angina pectoris: the SWAN study The SWAN Study Group Homepage: www.kup.at/jcbc Online Data Base Search for Authors and Keywords Indexed in Chemical Abstracts EMBASE/Excerpta Medica Krause & Pachernegg GmbH · VERLAG für MEDIZIN und WIRTSCHAFT · A-3003 Gablitz/Austria ORIGINAL PAPERS, CLINICAL The SWAN study J Clin Basic Cardiol 1999; 2: 213 Comparison of the antiischaemic and antianginal effects of nicorandil and amlodipine in patients with symptomatic stable angina pectoris: the SWAN study The SWAN Study Group1 This multicentre, double-blind, randomised study compared the antiischaemic and antianginal effects of nicorandil and amlodipine in patients with symptomatic stable angina pectoris. Nicorandil is a new coronary and balanced peripheral vasodilating agent that operates through two mechanisms of action: activation of ATP-dependent K-channels and stimulation of guanylate cyclase. A total of 121 patients with symptomatic stable angina pectoris were randomised to receive nicorandil 10 mg twice daily (bd) or amlodipine 5 mg once daily (od) for 8 weeks (optional dosage increase after 2-4 weeks to 20 mg bd and 10 mg od, respec- tively). Symptom-limited exercise tolerance tests were performed at baseline, and after 2 and 8 weeks treatment, respectively. In addition, the number of anginal attacks, nitroglycerin (NTG) usage, blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR) and adverse events were recorded, and a subjective assessment of quality of life performed.

  • Comparison of the Effects of High Dose Testosterone and 19-Nortestosterone to a Replacement Dose of Testosterone on Strength and Body Composition in Normal Men

FRIEDL,* JOSEPH R. DETTORI, CHARLES J. HANNAN JR, TROY H. PATIENCE and STEPHENR. PLYMATE Exercise Physiology Division, U.S. Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine, Natick, MA and Department of Clinical Investigation, Madigan Army Medical Center, Tacoma, WA, U.S.A. Summary--We examined the extent to which supraphysiological doses of androgen can modify body composition and strength in normally virilized men. In doubly blind tests, 30 healthy young men received testosterone enanthate (TE) or 19-nortestosterone decanoate (ND), at 100mg/wk or 300mg/wk for 6 weeks. The TE-100mg/wk group served as replacement dose comparison, maintaining pretreatment serum testosterone levels, while keeping all subjects blinded to treatment, particularly through reduction in testicular volumes. Isokinetic strength measurements were made for the biceps brachii and quadriceps femoris muscle groups before treatment and 2-3 days after the 6th injection. Small improvements were noted in all groups but the changes were highly variable; a trend to greater and more consistent strength gain occurred in the TE-300mg/wk group. There was no change in weight for TE-100 mg/wk but an average gain of 3 kg in each of the other groups. No changes in 4 skinfold thicknesses or in estimated percent body fat were observed.

  • Androgenic and Anabolic Activities of Some Newly Synthesized Epiandrosterone and Progesterone Derivatives
    Scientia Pharmazeutica (Sci. Pharm.) 68, 141-1 57 (2000) O Osterreichische Apotheker-Verlagsgesellschaft m. b. H, Wien, Printed in Austria Androgenic and Anabolic Activities of Some Newly Synthesized Epiandrosterone and Progesterone Derivatives. Y. A. ~aklaai"and M. M. ~osseir'~' Abstract Derivatives of eplandrosterone and progesterone were synthesized. The androgenic and the anabolic activities of some of tlieln were investigated on prepubertal male albino rats of 21 days old by:-i determining tlie weight gain of the body, levator ani muscle, ventral prostate gland, testis, selniilal vesicles, vas deferens and epididymis, ii- esti~natioi~of serum luteinizing (LH) hor~none,iii- liistopatliological examination of the testis and ventral prostate glands. The results from this study showed that the presence of an appended substituted 2- aminopyridine ring at the C- 17 of testosterone gave the maximuin a~idrogenicactivity, whereas the presence of a substituted piperidine ring fused to ring D of 5 a- androstane exhibited tlie maxiini~inanabolic activity. However, filsio~~of a pyrazoline moiety with the ring D of 5 a- androstane led to a compo~undwith considerable androgenic and anabolic act~v~ty. Keywords: epiandrosterone, progesterone, a~idrogenicactivity, anabolic activity, prepubertal rat, inale sex accessory glands, luteinizing horinone, I~istopatl~ology Introduction A~idrogensare a class of steroids responsible for tlie primary and secondary sex characteristics of the male. In addition, these steroids have bee11 found to possess potent anabolic promoting properties. The androgens are formed by the Leydig cells of the testis which is regulated by tlie gonadotropic luteinizing hormone (LH). The latter is secreted by tlie (J - cells of the anterior pitiltary gland under tlie control of the liypotlialainic gonadotropin - releasing l~oni~one.LH polypeptide -cliaiii is bioclie~nically unique and confers the LH biological and il~~~~~l~~~ologicnlspecificity "'".

    Product Information Boldenone Cypionate Item No. 15158 CAS Registry No.: 106505-90-2 O Formal Name: 17β-hydroxy-androsta-1,4-dien-3-one O cyclopentanepropionate MF: C27H38O3 FW: 410.6 H Purity: ≥95% Stability: ≥2 years at -20°C H H Supplied as: A crystalline solid λ O UV/Vis.: max: 244 nm Laboratory Procedures For long term storage, we suggest that boldenone cypionate be stored as supplied at -20°C. It should be stable for at least two years. Boldenone cypionate is supplied as a crystalline solid. A stock solution may be made by dissolving the boldenone cypionate in the solvent of choice. Boldenone cypionate is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, DMSO, and dimethyl formamide, which should be purged with an inert gas. The solubility of boldenone cypionate in these solvents is approximately 15, 5, and 25 mg/ml, respectively. Boldenone cypionate is sparingly soluble in aqueous buffers. For maximum solubility in aqueous buffers, boldenone cypionate should first be dissolved in ethanol and then diluted with the aqueous buffer of choice. Boldenone cypionate has a solubility of approximately 0.3 mg/ml in a 1:2 solution of ethanol:PBS (pH 7.2) using this method. We do not recommend storing the aqueous solution for more than one day. Boldenone is an anabolic androgenic steroid and synthetic derivative of testosterone that was originally developed for veterinary use.1 It can increase nitrogen retention, protein synthesis, and appetite, and also stimulates the release of erythropoietin in the kidneys.1 Boldenone cypionate was synthesized as an ester of boldenone in an attempt to alter boldenone’s very long half-life.2 Anabolic androgenic steroid compounds such as boldenone cypionate have been used illicitly by bodybuilders and other athletes.3 This compound is intended for forensic and research purposes only.

Objectives: To suggest possible treatment strategies for non-binary transgender individuals with non-standardized requests and to emphasize the importance of a personalized clinical approach. Methods: A narrative review of pertinent literature on gender-affirming hormonal treatment in transgender persons was performed using PubMed. Results: New hormonal treatment regimens outside those reported in current guidelines should be considered for non-binary transgender individuals, in order to improve psychological well-being and quality of life. In the present review we suggested the use of hormonal and non-hormonal compounds, which—based on their mechanism of action—could be used in these cases depending on clients’ requests. Conclusion: Requests for an individualized hormonal treatment in non-binary transgender individuals represent a future challenge for professionals managing transgender health care. For each case, clinicians should balance the benefits and risks of a personalized non-standardized treatment, actively involving the person in decisions regarding hormonal treatment.

  • Testosterone, Injectable
    Clinical Criteria Subject: Testosterone, Injectable Document #: ING-CC-0026 Publish Date: 06/10/201909/23/2019 Status: ReviewedRevised Last Review Date: 03/18/201908/16/2019 Table of Contents Overview Coding References Clinical criteria Document history Overview This document addresses indications for the intramuscular (IM) and subcutaneous (SC) administration of testosterone injectables for the treatment of hormone deficient conditions. The following testosterone injection agents are included: • Testosterone cypionate intramuscular: Depo-Testosterone, generic testosterone cypionate • Testosterone enanthate: o Intramuscular: generic testosterone enanthate o Subcutaneous: Xyosted (auto-injector) • Testosterone undecanoate intramuscular: Aveed Testosterone is an androgen hormone responsible for normal growth and development of male sex characteristics. In certain medical conditions such as hypogonadism, the endogenous level of testosterone falls below normal levels. Primary hypogonadism includes conditions such as testicular failure due to cryptorchidism, bilateral torsion, orchitis, or vanishing testis syndrome; bilateral orchidectomy; and inborn errors in the biosynthesis of testosterone. Secondary hypogonadism, also called hypogonadotropic hypogonadism includes conditions such as gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) deficiency or pituitary-hypothalamic injury resulting from tumors, trauma, surgery, or radiation. In 2015, the Endocrine Society added the following amended recommendations: • Men with metabolic syndrome, who were previously unexamined by the 2010 Endocrine Society Clinical Practice Guidelines, may benefit from testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) based on improvements in biometrics and insulin sensitivity. Effects of TRT on similar endpoints in men with type 2 diabetes mellitus remain unclear; • Effects of TRT on erectile function, even in men refractory to phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors, and on quality of life in men with erectile dysfunction remain inconclusive (Seftel, 2015).

  • Specificity and Mechanism of Carbohydrate Demethylation by Cytochrome P450 Monooxygenases
    Biochemical Journal (2018) 475 3875–3886 https://doi.org/10.1042/BCJ20180762 Research Article Specificity and mechanism of carbohydrate demethylation by cytochrome P450 monooxygenases Craig S. Robb1,2, Lukas Reisky3, Uwe T. Bornscheuer3 and Jan-Hendrik Hehemann1,2 1Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology, Celsiusstrasse 1, Bremen 28359, Germany; 2University of Bremen, Center for Marine Environmental Sciences (MARUM), Bremen Downloaded from http://portlandpress.com/biochemj/article-pdf/475/23/3875/733679/bcj-2018-0762.pdf by guest on 29 September 2021 28359, Germany; 3Department of Biotechnology and Enzyme Catalysis, Institute of Biochemistry, University of Greifswald, Greifswald 17487, Germany Correspondence: Jan-Hendrik Hehemann ( [email protected]; [email protected]) Degradation of carbohydrates by bacteria represents a key step in energy metabolism that can be inhibited by methylated sugars. Removal of methyl groups, which is critical for further processing, poses a biocatalytic challenge because enzymes need to over- come a high energy barrier. Our structural and computational analysis revealed how a member of the cytochrome P450 family evolved to oxidize a carbohydrate ligand. Using structural biology, we ascertained the molecular determinants of substrate specificity and revealed a highly specialized active site complementary to the substrate chemistry. Invariance of the residues involved in substrate recognition across the subfamily suggests that they are critical for enzyme function and when mutated, the enzyme lost substrate recognition. The structure of a carbohydrate-active P450 adds mechanistic insight into monooxygenase action on a methylated monosaccharide and reveals the broad conservation of the active site machinery across the subfamily. Introduction Microbial polysaccharide utilization is a key component of the global carbon cycle.
