Plasma C19-delta 5-steroid levels during normal human pregnancy.

Abstract:

:Plasma levels of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, dehydroepiandrosterone and delta 5-androstenediol were measured in several women throughout pregnancy. The levels of both dehydroepiandrosterone and its sulfate decreased while those of delta 5-androstenediol did not. The levels of binding of the latter steroid to plasma proteins increased.

  • Unilateral nephrectomy causes an early abrupt decrease in plasma arginine and simultaneous reduction in glomerular filtration rate in living kidney donors.

    abstract:OBJECTIVES:Living donor kidney transplantation is regarded as beneficial to allograft recipients and not particularly detrimental to the donors. Recently we have documented a reduced glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in living kidney donors (LKDs). Considering kidneys as essential for l-arginine (Arg) metabolism, in the...
