Effects of oxandrolone on plasma lipoproteins in patients with type IIa, IIb and IV hyperlipoproteinemia: occurrence of hypo-high density lipoproteinemia.

The effects of oxandrolone on plasma lipids and lipoprotein composition in patients with type IIa, IIb and IV hyperlipoproteinemia were investigated. Oxandrolone (4 mg/day, for 28 days) induced a significant reduction in plasma and VLDL triglyceride. Reciprocal elevation of LDL cholesterol was observed in 8 of 10 type IV patients and in 2 of 5 type IIb patients. In patients with type IV hyperlipoproteinemia, significant reduction of plasma apolipoproteinB and VLDL apolipoprotein B and inverse LDL apolipoprotein B increment was observed after treatment with oxandrolone. HDL cholesterol was decreased. Hypo-high density lipoproteinemia defined as HDL cholesterol concentration below 40 mg/100 ml occurred in 7 of 10 type IV, 3 of 6 type IIb and 1 of 4 type IIa patients.

[103Ru for tumor scanning--a comparative study on tissue distributions of 103Ru-chloride and 103Ru-citrate in tumor-bearing animals (author's transl)].

Biological distribution of 103Ru in mice bearing Ehlrich's solid tumor and rats bearing AH-130 solid tumor were studied with two compounds of 103Ru, the chloride and citrate. The radioactivity of 103Ru-chloride showed slower excretion and higher tumor concentration than that of citrate. The tumor-to-muscle ratios of chloride were always higher, but the tumor-to-blood ratios were always lower than those of citrate. No significant difference was founds between 103Ru-chloride and citrate as tumor scanning agents.
