Oxymetholone Therapy of Fanconi Anemia Suppresses Osteopontin Transcription and Induces Hematopoietic Stem Cell Cycling

Stem Cell Reports, 2015
Summary: Androgens are widely used for treating Fanconi anemia (FA) and other human bone marrow failure syndromes, but their mode of action remains incompletely understood. Aged Fancd2−/− mice were used to assess the therapeutic efficacy of oxymetholone (

Redox Imbalance, Macrocytosis, and RBC Homeostasis

Antioxidants & Redox Signaling, 2006
The erythrocyte represents a major component of the antioxidant capacity of the blood through the enzymes contained in the cell, the glutathione system, and the low-molecular-weight antioxidants of the erythrocyte membrane. A further major red blood cell contribution is in regenerating consumed redox equivalents via the oxidative pentose phosphate ...
