Disease relevance of Medroxyprogesterone acetate

 

Psychiatry related information on Medroxyprogesterone acetate

 

High impact information on Medroxyprogesterone acetate

  • Since more than 1.5 million women worldwide are currently receiving injections of a contraceptive progestin, depot medroxyprogesterone acetate, this is potentially an important public health problem [11].
  • After adjustment for CD4 count, cervical proviral shedding was significantly associated with use of depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (odds ratio 2.9, 95% CI 1.5-5.7), and with use of low-dose and high-dose oral contraceptive pills (3.8, 1.4-9.9 and 12.3, 1.5-101, respectively) [12].
  • Provera administered in vivo had no effect on either dehydrogenase activity in soluble estradiol receptor-poor carcinomata, whereas both dehydrogenase activities were high in some but not all soluble estradiol receptor-rich tumors [13].
  • Examination of a variety of steroidal contraceptives as modulators of the dehydrogenase indicates that ethinylestradiol is a very poor inhibitor (IC50 = 100 microM), while 6-medroxyprogesterone acetate (Provera) is an extremely potent inhibitor (IC50 = 0.2 microM) [14].
  • Combination use of premarin and provera was significantly associated with increased apolipoprotein A-I levels; less powerful but still significant associations with increased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and decreased low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were also observed [15].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Medroxyprogesterone acetate

 

Biological context of Medroxyprogesterone acetate

  • The bone density at the spine was 1.086 +/- 0.085 g/cm(2) in the DMPA group, 1.103 +/- 0.095 g/cm(2) in the oral contraceptive group, and 1.093 +/- 0.090 g/cm(2) in nonusers (P = 0.051) [21].
  • Vitamin fluctuations in the blood of female baboons in relation to normal menstrual cycles, treatments with Lo-Ovral or Depo-Provera and a selected vitamin supplement [22].
  • RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: An observational cohort study of 526 Hispanic women with prior GDM who were not diabetic in their postpartum visit during January 1987 to October 1997 and who elected DMPA (n = 96) or COCs (n = 430) as initial contraception were followed for a maximum of 9.2 years with a median follow-up of approximately 12 months [4].
  • This report describes a study of depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) and testosterone undecanoate (TU) injected at 8-wk intervals for suppression of spermatogenesis in healthy Chinese men [23].
  • The results suggest that in women using DMPA bone resorption exceeded bone formation [21].
 

Anatomical context of Medroxyprogesterone acetate

 

Associations of Medroxyprogesterone acetate with other chemical compounds

  • This allowed characterization of both receptor subclasses individually and study of them in various physiological and pharmacological conditions in the human, i.e. during different phases of the menstrual cycle, in postmenopausal women, term pregnancy, and during depo-progestin (medroxyprogesterone acetate) therapy [28].
  • By contrast, no effects were elicited by adding EGF with E2, or by the separate additions of EGF, MPA, or E2 plus MPA [29].
  • We hypothesized that testosterone (T) transdermal gel (T gel) could be combined with a depot formulation of the progestin, depomedroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA), with or without the potent GnRH antagonist, acyline, to suppress spermatogenesis conveniently, rapidly, and reversibly [30].
  • Of eight studies that performed sequential oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTTs) after at least 6 months of Depo-Provera or Norplant use, seven found significant elevations (approximate doubling) of insulin at 2 or 3 h after glucose challenge; the effects on fasting, half-hour, or 1-h postchallenge insulin values were less consistent [31].
  • After treatment of seven PM women for 2 months with 0.625 mg conjugated estrogens and seven other PM women with 150 mg im depomedroxyprogesterone acetate, vasomotor symptoms decreased significantly [32].
