Investigations on the role of low density lipoproteins in the pathogenesis of the essential carbohydrate-induced hypertriglyceridemia

Zusammenfassung Die mit physikochemischen Untersuchungen nachweisbaren LDL-Anomalien bei der essentiellen Hypertriglyceridämie lassen den Schluss zu, dass Störungen der LDL-Kinetik bei der Pathogenese dieser Krankheit eine wichtige Rolle spielen.     

Combined effects of testosterone and estradiol on the ventral lobe of the rat postate in organ culture]

After organ culture without hormone, the epithelial gland cells of Rat veantral prostate undergo atrophic changes, whereas the interstitial stroma components tend to increase. Estradiol (1-1,000 nM),added to the culture medium, is ineffective. On the contrary, testosterone (1-100 nM) maintains epithelial cells and prevents the increase of interstitial stroma. When estradiol (1-1,000 nM) is combined with a physiological concentration of testosterone (1-4 nM), the epithelial cells are well maintained, but the inhibitory action of testosterone on the stroma is counteracted so that the glandular epithelium and the interstitial stroma are both stimulated. However, when testosterone is used at supraphysiological (10-100 nM) concentrations, estradiol is completely ineffective and the structure of the prostate is identical to the one given by the androgen alone.
