- Effects of liraglutide in the treatment of obesity : a
randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study
|
|
|
|
The frequency of obesity has risen dramatically in recent years but only few safe and eff ective drugs are
currently available. We assessed the eff ect of liraglutide on bodyweight and tolerability in obese individuals without type 2
diabetes.

- Association Between Estrogen Receptor α Gene Variation and Cardiovascular Disease
|
|
|
|
ATHEROTHROMBOTIC Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) such as myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke are
multifactorial disorders with substantial heritable components. Genetic constitution may contribute
to underlying risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and hypercholesterolemia
and also may act through other, unidentified routes to alter susceptibility
to CVDevents.

- Fracture Incidence in Relation to the Pattern of Use of Hormone Therapy in post menopausal women.
|
|
|
|
POSTMENOPAUSAL WOMEN WHO use hormone therapy are known to have a reduced incidence
of fracture compared with women who do not. However, there is limited information on how
long this protective effect persists after use ceases, how different types of
hormones affect the risk of fracture, and how hormone therapy affects the risk
of fracture of different bones.

- Hormones, Brain and Stress
|
|
|
|
The stress system orchestrates body and brain responses to the environment. This
action exerted by the mediators of the stress system has two modes of operation. The immediate
response mode driven by corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) organises via CRH-1 receptors
the behavioural, sympathetic and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) responses to a stressor.

- Zonisamide for Weight Loss in Obese Adults
|
|
|
|
THE PREVALENCE OF OBESITY HAS increased dramatically in the past decade in the United States
and many other developed countries. Because obesity is associated with a significantly increased risk for type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease,
hypertension, numerous other major illnesses, and overall mortality from
all causes, weight reduction is critical for the obese patient.

- Androgenic Hormones Modulate Autoantibody Responses
and Improve Survival in Murine Lupus
|
|
|
Antibodies to native DNA and to polyadenylic acid (Poly A) occur spontaneously and
undergo a regulated switch from IgM to IgG during the course of autoimmune disease in
NZB / NZW F1(B/W) mice. B/W females have higher titers and earlier
commitment to 7S antibodies to DNA and Poly A, whereas B/W males bind DNA and Poly A primarily
by 19S antibodies. We have performed castration experiments to determine the effects of sex hormones
on this switch from IgM to IgG

- Bone Mineral Density Response to Estrogen Replacement in Frail Elderly Women
|
|
|
|
THE HIGHEST INCIDENCE OF osteoporotic fractures is in women older than 75 years, who constitute
a rapidly expanding segment of the US population. Bone mineral density
(BMD), which is a strong risk factor for osteoporosis, continues to
decline with age. Indeed, recent prospective studies indicate that bone loss
not only continues from middle age into old age but may in fact accelerate in elderly
persons. Given the progressive increase in physical frailty that typically
occurs in elderly women, an osteoporotic fracture, particularly of the hip, often
contributes to the loss of functional independence.

- Effect of Soy Protein Containing Isoflavones on Cognitive Function, Bone Mineral
Density, and Plasma Lipids in Postmenopausal Women
|
|
|
THE SUDDEN DECLINE IN ESTROGEN levels after menopause coincides with acceleration of
several aging processes.1Onaverage, bone mineral density (BMD) decreases
and cognitive function declines, whereas total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol
(LDL-C) increase. It has been suggested that postmenopausal estrogen therapy might counteract some of these
changes. However, short-term estrogen use is associated with the recurrence
of vaginal bleeding, 2 and longterm use has been associated with an increased risk of breast cancer,
stroke, and cardiovascular disease.

- Effects Of Thyroxine As Compared With Thyroxine Plus Triiodothyronine In Patients With Hypothyroidism.
|
|
|
|
Patients with hypothyroidism are usually treated with thyroxine (levothyroxine) only, although both thyroxine and triiodothyronine are secreted
by the normal thyroid gland. Whether thyroid secretion of triiodothyronine is physiologically important
is unknown.

- Effects of Conjugated Equine Estrogen in Postmenopausal Women With
Hysterectomy
|
|
|
|
ESTROGEN THERAPY has been available to postmenopausal women for more than 60 years. Proven benefits include relief of
vasomotor symptoms and vaginal atrophy and prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. Observational studies primarily
examining unopposed estrogen preparations have suggested a 30% to 50% reduction in coronary events

- Prescribing Hormone Replacement Therapy for Menopausal Symptoms
|
|
|
|
Menopause, the permanent cessation of menstruation after loss of ovarian follicular function, is clinically
defined as the absence of menses for 12 months. Natural menopause occurs at an average
age of 51 years; this age has remained constant since it was first recorded in 600 A.D.
Approximately 1% of women become postmenopausal before 40 years of age, and 5% become
postmenopausal after 55 years of age
