Measurement of hormones in children's saliva has excited interest because of numerous potential applications in developmental studies. Although assays of children's saliva for some hormones (e.g., cortisol) are widely available and used, the availability and use of assays of children's saliva testosterone is restricted. By adapting a commercially available serum testosterone kit, our laboratory has developed a reliable, efficient, and highly sensitive procedure for measuring testosterone in children's saliva that does not require separation or extraction. The minimum detection limit was 0.8 pg/mL. Intraassay coefficients of variation (CV) were between 3.66 and 6. 78% at concentrations 9.25 to 86.41 pg/mL, and interassay CVs were between 5.70 and 6.61% at concentrations of 7.3 to 118.51 pg/mL. The standard curve was highly reproducible (M slope = -0.70 and Mr = 0. 99). Method accuracy, determined by spike recovery, and linearity, determined by serial dilution, were 99.20 and 92.80%, respectively. Values from matched serum and saliva samples showed strong linear relationships. The assay captured near 99.09% of the range of individual differences in boys' (N = 90) and girls' (N = 85), ages 8-12, am and pm salivary testosterone levels. This assay can be easily applied to the investigation of testosterone-behavior relations in the context of studies on child health and development. It may help many child development researchers improve or expand their research activities. 1999 Academic Press.

OBJECTIVE: Cutaneous spider angioma is a common sign observed in patients with liver cirrhosis, but its pathogenesis is still unclear. Increased plasma levels of estrogen, vascular dilation, and neovascularization are possible etiologies. This study was designed to investigate the relationship of spider angiomas in patients with nonalcoholic liver cirrhosis to the plasma levels of sex hormones and various vasodilators and hemodynamic parameters. METHODS: A total of 60 patients with nonalcoholic liver cirrhosis and 20 healthy subjects were included in this study. The number, size, and location of the spider angiomas were recorded. Plasma levels of estradiol, testosterone, substance P, calcitonin gene-related peptide, and nitrate/nitrite and forearm hemodynamics were measured. RESULTS: Cirrhotic patients showed higher plasma estradiol/testosterone ratios (28.3+/-47.2 x 10(-3), median 10.5 x 10(-3) vs 8.2+/-8.3 x 10(-3), median 5.7 x 10(-3), p = 0.003) and levels of nitrate/ nitrite (29.9+/-17.5, median 23.8 vs 21.4+/-10.0, median 20.6 micromol/L, p = 0.01) and substance P (47.5+/-62.5, median 29.2 vs 15.2+/-7.7, median 12.3 pg/ml, p < 0.001) than healthy controls. Sixteen (27%) of the 60 cirrhotic patients had spider angiomas. Cirrhotic patients with spider angiomas disclosed higher plasma levels of substance P (84.7+/-105.3, median 53.1 vs 34.5+/-30.7, median 25.8 pg/ml, p = 0.006) and serum levels of bilirubin (3.9+/-3.8, median 1.9 vs 1.9+/-1.9, median 1.2 mg/dl, p = 0.02) than those without. Stepwise logistic regression showed substance P was the only significant and independent predictor associated with the presence of spider angiomas in cirrhotic patients (odds ratio = 3.0, 95% confidence interval = 1.4-6.6, p = 0.01). CONCLUSION: Plasma levels of substance P are elevated in patients with nonalcoholic cirrhosis and may play an important role in the pathogenesis of spider angiomas.

Because progesterone exerts its effects mainly via estrogen-dependent progesterone receptor (PgR), the expression of progesterone's effects may be overshadowed by the priming effect of estrogen. PgR expression vectors were transfected into estrogen receptor (ER)-alpha and PgR-negative breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231; thus the functions of progesterone could be studied independent of estrogens and ERs. Eight stable transfectant clones expressing both PgR isoform A and B were studied for their growth response to progesterone and its analogues. Although progesterone had no effect on growth in the control transfectant, the hormone markedly inhibited DNA synthesis and cell growth in all of the PgR-transfectants dose-dependently from 10(-12)-10(-6) M. This growth inhibition was associated with an arrest of cells in the G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle. Progestins medroxyprogesterone acetate, Org2058, and R5020 also strongly inhibited DNA synthesis, and their doses required for maximal inhibition of 60-70% were 10(-17) M, 10(-13) M, and 10(-7) M, respectively. Antiprogestin ZK98299 alone had no effect, but the compound was capable of counteracting the inhibitory effect of progesterone. In contrast, RU486 inhibited DNA synthesis, and it showed no further effects when it was used concurrently with progesterone. These results indicate that progestins are per se antiproliferative via a PgR-mediated mechanism in breast cancer cells. More importantly, we have shown that progestins may exert effective inhibitory control over the cell growth if the PgR expression is reactivated in ER- and PgR-negative breast cancer cells.

Male Wistar rats, aged 6 weeks, were maintained at 25 degreesC for 9 to 11 weeks (W group), at 10 degreesC for 9 to 11 weeks (C group), and at 25 degreesC for 2 weeks after exposure to 10 degreesC for 9 weeks (D group). Thermogenesis at 10 degreesC was significantly greater than at 25 degreesC. Thermogenesis per body mass in the C group was greater than in the W and D groups. The RQ value at 10 degreesC was greater than at 25 degreesC in the W group, whereas the opposite was observed in the C and D groups. It is suggested that a large part of enhanced thermogenesis, caused by cold acclimation for 9 weeks, is lost because of a decreased secretion of calorigenic hormones, in spite of a slight decrease in BAT mass, during deacclimation for 2 weeks.

Pineal-independent regulation of photo-nonresponsiveness in the Siberian hamster (Phodopus sungorus).

The pineal hormone melatonin influences circadian rhythms and also mediates reproductive responses to photoperiod. The authors tested whether pinealectomy influences circadian oscillators responsible for induction of nonresponsiveness to short day lengths by preventing normal short-day patterns of circadian entrainment. Adult male Siberian hamsters were pinealectomized or sham operated, maintained in either 18 h light per day (18L) or 15L for 10 weeks, and then tested for responsiveness to 10L. Because pinealectomized hamsters do not show gonadal regression in short day lengths, responsiveness was assessed by measuring phase angle of entrainment and the length of the nightly activity period following transfer to 10L. The incidence of nonresponsiveness was significantly higher in 18L hamsters than in 15L hamsters but was unaffected by pineal status. Fully 88% of 18L hamsters failed to entrain to 10L in the normal short-day manner; the duration of nightly activity remained compressed, and the phase angle of entrainment was large and negative relative to lights off. The 15L hamsters entrained normally to 10L. Exposure to constant light after 10L treatment was equally effective in inducing arrhythmicity in pinealectomized and intact hamsters. Changes in the period of morning and evening circadian oscillators subsequent to 18L treatment did not predict circadian responsiveness to short photoperiod. Long-day induction of photo-nonresponsiveness, which prevents winter responses to short day lengths, occurs independently of pineal melatonin feedback on the circadian system.

Beautiful, dense hair is a dream for many people. Hair growth is a sophisticated biological process, which has not yet been understood. A multitude of therapeutic measures, including drugs, surgery, and suppelements have been developed. However, due to the diversity of the problems underlying hair loss, there is no single solution that can address all hair loss cases. Another problem is that most of chemical drugs and hair transplantation surgeries are not free from varying degrees of undesirable side effects on health.

Hair Million is an alternative solution to cope with hair loss problems. Anecdotally, it shows prositive results and improvement especially for age-related hair thinning and hair loss for a large group of people who take it as suggested. Although personal experiences and anecdotal evidences indicate that it works, we still do not understand the mechanisms of action as to how Hair Million works to help stop hair loss, and promote hair growth. There has been no clinical trials nor placebo controlled statistical analysis on the efficacy of Hair Million on hair loss and hair growth. R & D costs dearly, and no one would afford to research complex herbal ingredients, which are often not patentable at all because they are made by mother nature.














DHEA is a natural hormone, and it is produced in our body by the adrenal glands. DHEA has been suggested to provide numerous potential benefits. DHEA (or dehydroepiandrosterone) is converted into androgens (male hormones) or estrogens (female hormones) in the cells.
