Hormones suppressants

TSH is approved for medical use as a diagnostic aid in the detection of thyroid cancer/thyroid remnants in post-thyroidectomy patients. Thyroid cancer is relatively rare, exhibiting the highest incidence in adults, particularly females. First-line treatment is surgical removal of all or most of the thyroid gland (thyroidectomy). This is followed by thyroid hormone suppression therapy, which entails administration of T3 or T4 at levels sufficient to maintain low seum TSH levels through the negative feedback mechanism mentioned earlier. TSH suppression is required... 

Itraconazole is usually well tolerated but can be associated with nausea and epigastric distress. Dizziness and headache also have been reported. High doses may cause hypokalemia, hypertension, and edema. Itraconazole, unlike ketoconazole, is not associated with hormonal suppression. Hepatotoxicity occurs in fewer than 5% of cases and is usually manifested by reversible Uver enzyme elevations. 

Mechanism of Action-. An antidiarrheal and growth hormone suppressant that suppresses the secretion of serotonin and gastroenteropancreatic peptides and enhances fluid and electrolyte absorption from the G1 tract Therapeutic Effect Prolongs intestinal transit time. 

Increased production of deoxycorticosterone causes fluid retention. Because this hormone suppresses the renin/angiotensin system, it causes low-renin hypertension. 

Hormone suppression therapy can be used, for example, to inhibit the adrenogenital syndrome (3). Higher doses are used. The treatment of the adrenogenital syndrome is only partly substitutive and has to be adapted to the individual case, but doses are needed at which various hormonal effects of the glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids are likely to become troublesome. 

In contrast to the situation in the adipocyte, hypothyroidism potentiates /3-ad-renergic receptor-mediated cAMP and glycogen phosphorylase response in rat he-patocytes [88]. Thyroid hormones suppress /3-adrenergic-stimulated phosphorylase b kinase and phosphorylase a activities, while enhancing phosphoprotein phosphatase activity in the same cells [89,90]. In other words, thyroid hormones seem to... 

C Thyroid hormone suppresses TSH secretion by the anterior pituitary. If thyroid hormone levels are elevated, TSH levels will be lower than normal. 

Like the estrogen levels, so the total testosterone level and the bioavailable testosterone level, in particular, decline in both sexes with age. Testosterone supplementation was reported to protect orchiectomized, aging male rats from osteoporosis (260), increase nerve growth factor levels in rat brain (261), or improve depression in aging men (262). The treatment of N2a cells and rat primary cere-brocortical neurons with testosterone increased secretion of sAPPa and diminished the release of A 3s (263). In a similar manner, treatment of GTl-7 rat hypothalamic cells with testosterone stimulated the a-secretory pathway by increasing the secretion of sAPPa, without affecting the total amount of cellular APP (216). In a group of six men treated for adenocarcinoma of the prostate with hormonal suppressants, the precipitous drop in their levels of testosterone and estradiol correlated with the increase of A/340 plasma levels (264). The therapeutic implications of observations like these remain uncertain. 

Model I has been applied to a wide variety of drug responses, such as the reduction of fever (8, 20) or pain (19) by anti-inflammatory drugs, anticoagulant action of warfarin (3,9), reduction in blood sorbitol levels by inhibitors of aldose reductase (21), cortisol suppressive effects of corticosteroids (22), luteinizing hormone suppression by the synthetic hormone cetrorelix (23), reduction in the levels of tumoral phospho-EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) by cetuximab (24), inhibition of dihydrotestosterone (25), the suppression of T-lymphocyte influx into the blood by corticosteroids (26), and the acid-inhibitory effects of H2-receptor antagonists (27).

The biggest success of pol5mier controlled release systems in cancer therapy however has been in the area of prostate cancer treatment. This therapy is luiique since it uses a hormone-suppressant rather than a chemotherapeutic agent to minimize cancer cell growth in the prostate. Several products include Lupron Depot (TAP Pharmaceuticals), Zoladex (Astra-Zeneca), and Trelstar Depot (Debio RP, Pharmacia). Lupron Depot involves PLA microspheres, Zoladex formulation is an extruded rod, whereas Trelstar depot consists of PLGA microspheres, all of which incorporate LHRH analogues.
