In a short historical review of the outstanding changes occurred in the whole of endocrinology and particularly in Chile over the last 60 years -with the background of an infant mortality drop from 200 per thousand in 1940 ...
Late luteal phase administration of RU486 for three successive cycles does not disrupt bleeding patterns or ovulation
(1987)
RU486, a 19-nor steroid, binds with high affinity to the receptors for progesterone and glucocorticoids, blocking the actions of these hormones on their target tissues. We conducted studies to determine whether RU486 ...
Progesterone synthesis by human luteal cells: Modulation by estradiol
(1994)
To assess the role of estradiol (E2) upon progesterone (P4) synthesis, a well defined human midluteal cell system was used. A dose-dependent inhibition of P4 synthesis with and without hCG was induced by E2. In addition, ...

(1985)
Ketoconazole, an imidazole derivative known to inhibit cytochrome P450-dependent adrenal enzymes was given to a patient with a functioning adrenal rest tumor of the liver in preparation for surgery. The drug was administered ...
Thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3): Effects of iodine on the serum concentrations and disposal rates in subjects from an endemic goiter area
(1974)
In iodine-deficient subjects the T3 and T4 peripheral metabolism was studied. A diminished disposal rate of T4 and an increase in T3 were found. Serum concentrations and disposal rates of both hormones were determined ...
THE HYPOTHALAMIC‐PITUITARY‐ADRENAL AXIS IN INFANTILE MALNUTRITION
(1990)
We studied the circadian rhythm and the response of the hypothalamic‐pituitary‐adrenal (HPA) axis to ovine corticotrophin releasing hormone (oCRH) stimulation and dexamethasone suppression in 32 children with grade II‐III ...
