[Testosterone and prostatic cancer (author's transl)]. 1977

R Morfin, and J F Charles, and L Tiengou

Hormono-dependent epithelial cells of the prostate gland loose their histologic and cytologic differentiation when becoming neoplastic. Such loss of differentiation is related to a change in testosterone metabolism measured by the testosterone metabolites ratio (17 beta-hydroxy/17-oxometabolites). This ratio decreases with differentiation losses and increasing independence from androgenic steroids. Knowledge of that ratio is suggested, prior to the starting of antiandrogenic therapies.

D013739 Testosterone A potent androgenic steroid and major product secreted by the LEYDIG CELLS of the TESTIS. Its production is stimulated by LUTEINIZING HORMONE from the PITUITARY GLAND. In turn, testosterone exerts feedback control of the pituitary LH and FSH secretion. Depending on the tissues, testosterone can be further converted to DIHYDROTESTOSTERONE or ESTRADIOL. 17-beta-Hydroxy-4-Androsten-3-one,17-beta-Hydroxy-8 alpha-4-Androsten-3-one,8-Isotestosterone,AndroGel,Androderm,Andropatch,Androtop,Histerone,Sterotate,Sustanon,Testim,Testoderm,Testolin,Testopel,Testosterone Sulfate,17 beta Hydroxy 4 Androsten 3 one,17 beta Hydroxy 8 alpha 4 Androsten 3 one,8 Isotestosterone
