Aim: The magnitude of the age-related declines in testosterone rather than levels measured at single point in time may be related to the genesis of prostate cancer (PCa).

Method: We analyzed data from the 1999-2004 National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey to compare age-related variations in the testosterone levels of 355 black and 631 white males.

Background/aim: In this study we evaluated the proteomic profile of PC-3 cells treated with novel, 3-N-alkyloxyestradiol derivative, 3-[2-diisopropylamino]-ethoxy-D1,3,5 (10)-estrien-17-one (DI) (USPTO #7,687,486).

Materials And Methods: The growth inhibitory potential of DI was determined by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Developmental Therapeutics Program. 2-D gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry were employed to identify differentially expressed proteins after treatment with DI.
