3alpha-Reduction of dihydrotestosterone in human normal and hypertrophic prostatic tissues.

The activity of 3alpha-reduction of dihydrotestosterone was located in both the particulate and the soluble fractions of human prostatic tissues. Activity of 3alpha-reduction was higher than that of 3beta-reduction under the incubation conditions employed; therefore, the main reductive metabolic pathway of dihydrotestosterone seemed to be the formation of 5alpha-androstane-3alpha,17beta-diol in human prostatic tissues. There was no significant difference between normal and hypertrophic prostatic tissues when the activity of 3alpha-reduction of dihydrostertosterone was compared on a wet weight basis.

Toxic polyneuropathy due to glue sniffing.

Four cases of toxic polyneuropathy due to glue-sniffing were reported. Neurological examination revealed motor predominant mixed type polyneuropathy. The cause of polyneuropathies in these cases was considered to be due to the inhalation of the vaporized elements of the adhesive agent, which contain mainly n-hexane and toluene. N-hexane is considered to be chiefly responsible for the polyneuropathy, though toluene also could have some influence on the illness.
