Example Sentences:
(1) EE2 was exclusively bound to albumin, whereas GEST and KDG were also bound to sex-hormone binding globulin (SHBG).
(2) The dystonia began 1 to 4 days after the trauma and differed clinically from idiopathic torticollis by marked limitation of range of motion, lack of improvement after sleep ("honeymoon period"), and absence of geste antagonistique.
(3) These data demonstrate that the three contraceptive steroids EE2, GEST and KDG were all bound extensively to serum proteins, however, with pronounced differences concerning their distribution over the various binding proteins.
(4) The results showed that there was a gradual decrease in serum trough levels of GEST during the cycle, due to a concomitant and equally high decrease in SHBG concentrations in the serum of about 26%.
(5) An examination of the free GEST concentrations revealed the same time course of GEST trough levels during the cycle as the simulated curve.
(6) Sows injected with GRF during GEST (P = .05) and(or) LACT (P less than .01) were lighter than CTL sows at weaning; in addition, sows treated during lactation had less backfat (P less than .01).
(7) GEST was mainly bound to SHBG, while KDG was predominantly bound to albumin.
(8) Results of NET, LN and GEST were compared with published in vivo experiments.
(9) SHBG concentrations were correlated with the total concentration of GEST and its free fraction and a positive (r=0.395) and negative (r=0.491) correlation respectively was found.
(10) GEST and KDG were analyzed in individual serum pools whereas EE2 was repeatedly measured in two serum pools, each one representing one treatment group.
(11) SHBG concentrations were correlated with the total concentration of GEST and its free fraction and a positive (r = 0.395) and negative (r = -0.491) correlation respectively was found.
(12) EE2 was exclusively bound to albumin, whereas GEST and KDG were also bound to sex-hormone-binding globulin (SHBG).
(13) Thus, the present study showed that the pharmacokinetics of GEST can be fully explained on the basis of single dose pharmacokinetics and the changes in serum protein binding which were caused by a reduction of SHBG levels in the serum during chronic treatment with GEST.
