Ketoconazole Blocks Adrenal Steroid Synthesis
Allan Pont,Paul L. Williams,David S. Loose,David Feldman,Richard E. Reitz,Charlotte Bochra,David A. Stevens +6 more
TL;DR: In healthy humans, the cortisol response to adrenocorticotropic hormone was significantly blunted 4 hours after a 400-mg or 600-mg dose, and this finding indicated that adrenal androgen response was reduced.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ketoconazole Blocks Testosterone Synthesis
Allan Pont,Paul L. Williams,Salman Azhar,Richard E. Reitz,Charlotte Bochra,Erla R. Smith,David A. Stevens +6 more
TL;DR: The diminution of testosterone synthesis could be significant as further therapeutic trials may use larger doses or more than once-daily administration, and the paucity of reports of endocrinologic toxicity may relate to the "escape from the block demonstrated in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-Dose Ketoconazole Therapy and Adrenal and Testicular Function in Humans
Allan Pont,John R. Graybill,Philip C. Craven,John N. Galgiani,William E. Dismukes,Richard E. Reitz,David A. Stevens +6 more
TL;DR: Patients receiving ketoconazole should be considered potentially unable to mount an adrenal stress response and may require testosterone supplementation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conjugated Estrogens in the Treatment of Postmenopausal Women with Hyperparathyroidism
TL;DR: Serum calcium levels became normal and urinary calcium excretion was reduced for up to 2 years in ten patients taking an average dose of 1.25 mg of estrogen daily, indicating that the major effect of therapy was to decrease bone turnover.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ketoconazole-Induced Increase in Estradiol-Testosterone Ratio: Probable Explanation for Gynecomastia
Allan Pont,Allan Pont,Allan Pont,Eric S. Goldman,Eric S. Goldman,Eric S. Goldman,Alan M. Sugar,Alan M. Sugar,Alan M. Sugar,Pentti K. Siiteri,Pentti K. Siiteri,Pentti K. Siiteri,David A. Stevens,David A. Stevens,David A. Stevens +14 more
TL;DR: The selective hormonal effect demonstrated may explain the side effect of gynecomastia after ketoconazole therapy, which appears to be the result of an elevated estradiol-testosterone ratio.
