Estrogens

Binds estrogen receptors

44
Q

A

hypoganodism or ovarian failure
menstrual abnormalities
hormone replacement therapy in post menopausal women
Use in men with androgen dependent prostate cancer

45
Q

Q

What are the roles of estrogen and progesterone specifically in OPCs?

treat hypogonadism and promote development of secondary sex characteristics
Anabolism to promote recovery after a burn or injury

58
Q

What are the side effects of testosterone?

A

Masculization in females
Decrease in testicular testosterone in males by inhibiting LH release –> gonadal atropy and azoospermia
Premature closer of epiphyseal plates
High LDL, low HDL

59
Q

What is the action of finasteride?

A

5a reductase inhibitor used in BPH and male pattern baldness

60
Q

What is the action of flutamide?

A

nonsteriodal competitive inhibitor at androgen receptors, used for prostate carcinoma

61
