Journal ArticleDOI
Hormonal effects of flutamide in young women with polycystic ovary syndrome
TL;DR: This finding supports the hypothesis that flutamide reduces androgen synthesis through restoration of ovulation, although a direct block of the steroidogenic enzymes of androgen biosynthesis in ovarian thecal cells cannot be excluded.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intrauterine growth retardation and fetal cardiac function
Filiberto Maria Severi,Giuseppe Rizzo,Caterina Bocchi,D. D'Antona,Maria Serena Verzuri,Domenico Arduini +5 more
TL;DR: The fetal cardiac function in intrauterine growth retardation shows a redistribution of the fetal cardiac output, which tends to favor the left ventricle as the mechanism to compensate for the uteroplacental insufficiency, and the Doppler velocity indices are modified as the fetal condition progressively deteriorates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of flutamide on pituitary and adrenal responsiveness to corticotrophin releasing factor (CRF)
TL;DR: The effect of flutamide treatment on the adrenal androgen response to corticotrophin releasing factor (CRF) in eight patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis and adrenal function before and after ovariectomy in premenopausal women.
TL;DR: The results show that the acute estrogen deficit induces changes in the HPA axis characterized by reduced stimulated secretion of ACTH and steroids but normal stimulated cortisol production.
Journal ArticleDOI
Growth hormone secretion in premenopausal women before and after ovariectomy: effect of hormone replacement therapy
TL;DR: The results support the role of E2 in the stimulated secretion of GH and suggest that ERT increases pituitary stores of GH as well as restoring GH response to presurgical levels.
