Pharmacologic Ascorbate in Myeloma Treatment: Doses Matter
Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) has followed opaque paths in treating pharmacologic ascorbate. Because myeloma cells are iron-rich, increasmultiplemyeloma, and othermalignancies. Inmyeloma cells, ascorbate surprisingly depleted glutathione and potentiated arsenate trioxide efficacy. Because oral ascorbate at 1 g produces plasma saturation, this dose was selected with arsenate. Predictably, in small t...
متن کاملEffects of Oral Isotretinoin on Serum Vitamin D Metabolites and Other Biochemical Markers of Bone Turnover and Calcium Homeostasis in Severe Acne
Background: Few studies have investigated on vitamin D metabolites Serum levels, and calcium homeostasis in humans receiving retinoids, despite a substantial amount of literature concerning retinoid-induced osteoporosis in animals. We prospectively measured vitamin D metabolites serum levels and calcium homeostasis and radiographic bone changes in short course treatment with oral isotreti...
متن کاملDuodenal Cytochrome b (DCYTB) in Iron Metabolism: An Update on Function and Regulation
Iron and ascorbate are vital cellular constituents in mammalian systems. The bulk-requirement for iron is during erythropoiesis leading to the generation of hemoglobin-containing erythrocytes. Additionally; both iron and ascorbate are required as co-factors in numerous metabolic reactions. Iron homeostasis is controlled at the level of uptake; rather than excretion. Accumulating evidence strong...
متن کاملComparison of Bone Mineral Density Measured by Dual X-ray, Axial Dual-energy Photon X-ray Absorptiometry and Laser Absorptiometry of Calcaneus
The objective of this study was to validate the use of bone mineral measurements of the calcaneus bone by dual X-ray and laser (DXL) in a cross-sectional study carried out in an osteoporosis clinic. Measurements of bone mineral density (BMD) at proximal femur and spine were obtained by dual-energy photon X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). Osteoporosis was defined by a DEXA T-score <-2.5 at the femora...
متن کاملEffects of Isotretinoin on bone density and Calcium homeostasis in patients with Acne Vulgaris
Background and aim: Side effects of long-term systemic isotretinion use with high accumulative doses on skeletal system have been known, but there are few studies about the effects of short term isotretinoin therapy for acne patients. This study was aimed to recognize the effects of systemic isotretinion on calcium homeostasis and bone density in acne patients referring to clinics affilia...
