[Biological activity in vitro and in vivo of different insulin derivatives (author's transl)].

The biological activities of des-octapeptide-insulin, des-AsnA21-des-AlaB30-insulin, des-GlyA1-des-PheB1-insulin and trimethionyl-insulin were studied in vitro and in vivo. In vitro we measured, using the isolated diaphragm of the rat, the disappearance rate of glucose in the incubation medium, the incorporation of glucose into the glycogen of the diaphragm and the apntilipolytic activity in the isolated fat cell model. The incorporation of [U-14C]glucose after intraperitoneal injection into the glycogen of the diaphragm and the fat pad tissue was studied in vivo, as well as the incorporation of 14C from [U-14C]glucose into the lipids of the fat pad tissue of the rat.

Urinary androgen response of 8 girls with precocious puberty given cyproterone acetate.

The effects of cyproterone acetate (CA), daily oral administration of 100 mg/m2, on the levels of urinary androgen excretion and velocity of skeletal maturation were studied in 8 girl patients with precocious puberty. Under therapy, testosterone excretion fell within a short time, and velocity of skeletal maturation normalized when the treatment was prolonged. Other beneficial effects such as stoppage of vaginal bleeding and no further growth of breast size and public hair, were also observed. Of 3 subjects, who were given CA for a period of 2--3 yrs, 2 showed further increments in testosterone excretion levels.
