TL;DR: Gastrointestinal transit time as well as serum estradiol and progesterone levels were measured in 15 normally menstruating women twice during their menstrual cycle, once in the follicular phase and onset of menses at the expected time documenting ovulatory cycles.

TL;DR: In this article, an animal model was developed to examine perturbation in gonadal function that occurs in man as a consequence of chronic ethanol ingestion and confirms previous data which suggest that ethanol is a primary testicular toxin.

TL;DR: No differences between responders and non- responders were evident for the type of hepatitis, age, initial alanine aminotransferase, serum iron, total iron binding capacity, %sat, or ferritin, and the hepatic iron content of non-responders was almost twice that of responders.

TL;DR: O orthotopic liver transplantation is a therapeutic option that should be considered for individuals with end‐stage alcoholic liver disease who desire such therapy and demonstrate that alcoholic patients can be transplanted successfully and achieve good health not significantly different from that of individuals transplanted for other causes.

TL;DR: Data are consistent with earlier studies in women ingesting oral contraceptives and provide support for the thesis that the progressive increase in plasma progesterone alone or in combination with estrogens that occurs during pregnancy is responsible for the reduction of lower esophageal sphincter pressure which allows esophagal reflux to occur with the resultant development of symptomatic heartburn.
