Anaphylaxis From Medroxyprogesterone Acetate
Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2004More than 30 million women in more than 90 countries use depot medroxyprogesterone acetate as an injectable contraceptive agent, and it is thought to be very safe. However, it should be recognized that serious and potentially life-threatening adverse effects can occur.A 40-year-old para 2 went into anaphylactic shock after receiving 150 mg of depot ...

A radioimmunoassay for serum medroxyprogesterone acetate
Journal of Steroid Biochemistry, 1978Abstract A radioimmunoassay for measuring medroxyprogesterone acetate in serum or plasma is described using an antiserum produced against the steroid-3-carboxymethyloxime coupled to bovine serum albumin. The method has adequate accuracy, precision and sensitivity and the reliability criteria of the method are compared with those of other ...

Medroxyprogesterone acetate in human serum
Journal of Steroid Biochemistry, 1981Medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) exists in blood both in the unconjugated and in the conjugated state. The mean concentration of MPA obtained after enzymic hydrolysis of the conjugated fraction was 82% of that in the unconjugated fraction. The conjugate appears to be mainly a glucuronide since solvolysis released only small amounts of MPA. Metabolites

A TRIAL OF MEDROXYPROGESTERONE ACETATE IN ACROMEGALY
Clinical Endocrinology, 1972SUMMARYIn a series of acromegalic patients treated with radiotherapy to the pituitary high growth hormone levels were frequently found to persist after treatment. However, a late fall in the fasting plasma level of growth hormone was often seen. There was no evidence as to its cause.The use of medroxyprogesterone in a dose of 10 mg 6‐hourly over a ...

Depot Medroxyprogesterone Acetate
2020Depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) is an injectable progestin-only contraceptive administered every 13 weeks. DMPA is an extremely effective contraceptive agent when used consistently. With typical use, approximately 6 out of 100 women will become pregnant in the first year of use, reflecting that some users do not return for repeat injections ...

A potential mechanism in medroxyprogesterone acetate teratogenesis
Teratology, 1979AbstractMedroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) has been shown to be teratogenic in rabbits but not in rats or mice (Andrew and Staples, 1977). Since normal steroid action appears to be mediated, in large part, through interaction with specific steroid receptors, we postulated that the species difference in teratogenicity might be due to a difference in the ...

Treatment of alopecia X with medroxyprogesterone acetate
Veterinary Dermatology, 2013BackgroundAlopecia X is a common cause of noninflammatory alopecia in Pomeranian dogs. In the past, treatment with growth hormone injections resulted in hair regrowth in many individuals. Progesterone can induce mammary‐derived growth hormone and is used to treat dogs with congenital growth hormone deficiency.Hypothesis/ObjectivesTo determine whether ...

Enzymatic assay of medroxyprogesterone acetate in plasma
Journal of Steroid Biochemistry, 1980Abstract A method is described for the enzymatic assay of medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) in plasma. After extraction and chromatographic purification of the steroid it is desacetylated and rechromatographed on the same Lipidex column. The primary enzymatic reaction is carried out with 3α,20β-hydroxy-steroid dehydrogenase and the NAD + formed is ...

Medroxyprogesterone Acetate and Sleep Apnea
Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences, 1987Abstract: Seven patients with sleep apnea DOES and one with sleep apnea DIMS were treated with medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA). The therapeutic effect was confirmed in most of them by polysomnographic recording. A marked increase of TST was observed in two patients whose AI and/or %SAT remarkably decreased.
