High impact information on Orchiectomy

  • Orchiectomy evokes the feminine pattern whereas testosterone administration induces the male pattern [8].
  • These results were sensitive to the quality of life associated with orchiectomy and the efficacy of combined androgen blockade, and they changed little when prostate-specific antigen results were used to guide therapy [9].
  • At a cost of $7000, orchiectomy was associated with 5.1 QALYs, resulting in an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of $7500/QALY relative to DES [9].
  • Moreover, bone histomorphometric analysis of trabecular bone revealed that, in contrast to IL-6 sufficient mice which exhibited increased osteoclast numbers and bone loss following orchidectomy, IL-6 deficient mice (generated by targeted gene disruption) did not [10].
  • Hormonal regulation of serum Lp (a) levels. Opposite effects after estrogen treatment and orchidectomy in males with prostatic carcinoma [11].

Gene context of Orchiectomy

  • RESULTS: AR inactivation or orchidectomy induced a similar degree of trabecular bone loss (-68% and -71%, respectively) [28].
  • On the other hand, neither orchiectomy nor androgen treatment affected levels of mRNAs for EGFR in the kidney or mRNAs for the structural protein beta-actin in the liver [29].
  • After unilateral orchiectomy, mEP17 levels decreased only in the orchiectomized side [30].
  • Consistent with this, IL-6-deficient mice do not exhibit an increase in the formation of osteoclasts after ovariectomy or orchidectomy, and are protected from the bone loss caused by the loss of gonadal function in either sex [31].
  • Orchidectomy of adult rats had no effect on the number of somatotropes or lactotropes, but significantly reduced GH and PRL mRNA levels [32].
