Effect of Cortisone on 17-Ketosteroid Excretion *
In 1952 cortisone therapy was initiated in two patients with far advanced prostatic carcinoma.2 As part of the study of those patients, determinations were made of urinary 17-ketosteroid excretion before and during therapy with cortisone. Rather large increases in excretion of 17-ketosteroids were noted during the administration of high doses of cortisone in both patients. This unexpected findi...
متن کاملGold therapy and neutral 17-ketosteroid excretion in rheumatoid arthritis.
Although the striking benefits of the administration of cortisone and ACTH in rheumatoid arthritis have been widely publicized, the exhibition of gold salts still retains an important place in the therapy of some types of case. The manner in which gold salts act is not known, but has been ascribed to stimulation of the reticulo-endothelial system, some alteration in the immunological or enzymat...
متن کامل17-ketosteroid and 17-hydroxycorticosteroid excretion in patients with duodenal ulceration.
The 24-hour excretion of 17-ketosteroids and 17-hydroxycorticosteroids has been estimated in a series of male duodenal ulcer subjects and compared with that of 56 normal male controls. It has been found that both 17-ketosteroid and 17-hydroxycorticosteroid excretion is less in ulcer subjects than in the control group; these differences are not large but in the case of 17-hydroxycorticosteroids ...
متن کاملCongenital Adrenal Cortical Insufficiency with Virilism
This paper presents the case of a boy developing symptoms of adrenal insufficiency soon after birth, followed by unmistakable evidences of the changes in the development associated with androgens. Other reports bring out the fact that the picture of increased androgenic activity with or without adrenocortical insufficiency is associated with hyperplasia and persistence of the fetal (androgenic)...
متن کاملThe effect of cortisone on the urinary excretion of 17-ketosteroids in patients with Cushing's syndrome.
The administration of cortisone to patients with virilism associated with adrenal hyperplasia results in a marked decrease in urinary 17-ketosteroid excretion (1-3) whereas no significant fall occurs in those patients whose virilism is due to an adrenal tumor (4, 5). The administration of cortisone inhibits pituitary adrenocorticotropin secretion causing secondary atrophy of the adrenals (6, 7)...
