Sex hormone binding globulin binding capacity, testosterone, 5alpha-dihydrotestosterone, oestradiol and prolactin in plasma of patients with prostatic carcinoma under various types of hormonal treatment. 1977

W Bartsch, and H J Horst, and H Becker, and G Nehse

Sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) binding capacity, the concentrations of testosterone (T), of 5alpha-dihydrotestosterone (DHT), of oestradiol-17beta (Oe2), of oestrone (Oe1), of prolactin (hPr) and the percentual specific binding of T to SHBG (%TB) were measured in plasma of patients suffering from prostatic carcinoma and of a control group of similar age. No significant differences in any of the investigated parameters were found between the control group and the carcinoma patients before treatment although 15% of the latter showed distinctly elevated hPr values. Treatment of carcinoma patients with 1) Antiandrogen (cyproterone acetate, Androcur) resulted in a significant decrease of T, Oe2 and SHBG. The DHT/T-ratio increased. n=5. 2) Orchidectomy caused an even more pronounced fall in T, DHT, Oe1 and Oe2 blood levels. SHBG was not altered. DHT/T-ratio increased. n=32. 3) Cyproterone acetate after orchidectomy led to elevated hPr values. n=5. 4) Oestrogen (diethylstiboestrol-diphosphate, Honvan) after orchidectomy increased SHBG and hPr. n=6. 5) Corticosteroid (Prednisone, Decortin) after orchidectomy decreased T and SHBG below the levels found after orchidectomy alone. n=5. 6) Diureticum (Mefruside, Baycaron) (n=5) or 7) a placebo (n=7) did not alter any of the parameters measured. 8) Treatment with HCG (Primogonyl) of patients suffering from oligozoospermia resulted in a significant increase of T, DHT and Oe2. SHBG was not altered. DHT/T-ratio decreased. n=7.

D008529 Mefruside A benzene-sulfonamide-furan. It is used as a diuretic that affects the concentrating ability of the KIDNEY, increases SODIUM CHLORIDE excretion, but may not spare POTASSIUM. It inhibits CARBONIC ANHYDRASES and may increase the blood URIC ACID level.
D011241 Prednisone A synthetic anti-inflammatory glucocorticoid derived from CORTISONE. It is biologically inert and converted to PREDNISOLONE in the liver.

D011388 Prolactin A lactogenic hormone secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). It is a polypeptide of approximately 23 kD. Besides its major action on lactation, in some species prolactin exerts effects on reproduction, maternal behavior, fat metabolism, immunomodulation and osmoregulation. Prolactin receptors are present in the mammary gland, hypothalamus, liver, ovary, testis, and prostate.

D002986 Clinical Trials as Topic Works about pre-planned studies of the safety, efficacy, or optimum dosage schedule (if appropriate) of one or more diagnostic, therapeutic, or prophylactic drugs, devices, or techniques selected according to predetermined criteria of eligibility and observed for predefined evidence of favorable and unfavorable effects. This concept includes clinical trials conducted both in the U.S. and in other countries. Clinical Trial as Topic
D003534 Cyproterone An anti-androgen that, in the form of its acetate (CYPROTERONE ACETATE), also has progestational properties. It is used in the treatment of hypersexuality in males, as a palliative in prostatic carcinoma, and, in combination with estrogen, for the therapy of severe acne and hirsutism in females. Cyproterone, 1alpha,2 alpha,9 beta,10 alpha-Isomer
D004054 Diethylstilbestrol A synthetic nonsteroidal estrogen used in the treatment of menopausal and postmenopausal disorders. It was also used formerly as a growth promoter in animals. According to the Fourth Annual Report on Carcinogens (NTP 85-002, 1985), diethylstilbestrol has been listed as a known carcinogen.

D006063 Chorionic Gonadotropin A gonadotropic glycoprotein hormone produced primarily by the PLACENTA. Similar to the pituitary LUTEINIZING HORMONE in structure and function, chorionic gonadotropin is involved in maintaining the CORPUS LUTEUM during pregnancy. CG consists of two noncovalently linked subunits, alpha and beta. Within a species, the alpha subunit is virtually identical to the alpha subunits of the three pituitary glycoprotein hormones (TSH, LH, and FSH), but the beta subunit is unique and confers its biological specificity (CHORIONIC GONADOTROPIN, BETA SUBUNIT, HUMAN).
