The study objective was to clarify in a randomized, controlled, observer-blind trial whether hormone replacement therapy (HRT) improves elastic properties of the common carotid artery in women with signs of subclinical atherosclerosis, especially in subgroups with increased risk, and whether

Coronary heart disease develops on average 10-15 years later in women than in men and is uncommon before menopause. 17 beta-estradiol has atheroprotective properties through rapid vasodilatory effects on the endothelium by stimulating nitric monoxide production and longer-term actions by
The efficiencies for estrogen conjugate hydrolysis were compared between enzyme hydrolysis, acid solvolysis and a new method, ammonolysis. Samples included: 1) crystalline 1,3,5(10)-estratriene-3, 17 beta-diol disulfate (estradiol 3,17-disulfate), 2) squirrel monkey urine collected following an intravenous injection of [2,4,6,7-H] 1,3,5(10)-estratriene-3,17
Dramatic declines in amphibian populations have been described all over the world since the 1980s. The evidence that the sensitivity to environmental threats is greater in amphibians than in mammals has been generally linked to the observation that amphibians are

3beta-(Iodoacetoxy)dehydroisoandrosterone (3beta-IDA), an analogue of the electrophilic substrate, Delta5-androstene-3,17-dione, as well as an analogue of several other steroid inhibitors of glutathione S-transferase, was tested as an affinity label of rat liver glutathione S-transferase, isozyme 1-1. A time-dependent loss of enzyme
