Aromatase Inhibitors for Endometriosis.

Posted on June 9, 2015 by Dr. Gary Pack

Endometriosis means that endometrial tissue is growing outside of the uterine cavity. Estrogen is the major chemical stimulating the growth of such tissue, and is produced mainly by the ovaries. There is evidence that the endometrial tissue outside the uterus can produce estrogen as well, as most endometrial biopsies show RNA for aromatase enzyme. This […]

Quercetin to Reverse Multidrug (Multi-drug) Resistance.

Posted on May 14, 2015 by Dr. Gary Pack

Multidrug resistance (MDR) is a big problem to the success of chemotherapy. There are a number of MDR mechanisms, including overproduction of chemical transporters across cell walls. There are 49 proteins which function as transporters which are ATP dependent drug pumps. These transporters remove chemotherapeutic agents from the cells so that they can’t accumulate in […]

Chemoprevention of Prostate Cancer Stem Cells with PSP.

Posted on April 28, 2015 by Dr. Gary Pack

Prostate cancer is the most common male cancer in the western world. When surgery is not possible, *hormone ablation therapy is used; however, most patients eventually relapse. Chemotherapy has poor results with excessive side effects. Prostate cancer stem cells (CSCs) have been identified as the possible source of prostate cancer, but these cells are highly […]

Aromatase in Testis Health.

Posted on April 20, 2015 by Dr. Gary Pack

Good health depends on balance between testosterone and estrogen in both males and females. Neither hormone is just “male” or “female”. The goal of this article was to study the effect of the aromatase enzyme in human testes, the effects of high and low hormone levels on the testes, as well as the location of […]

Lead and Cadmium and Oxidative Stress.

Posted on August 2, 2011 by Dr. Gary Pack

Lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) are the most common toxic metals in our environment. Some pollution is natural, some occurs from man’s activities, such as coal and mineral oil burning, smelting, mining, alloy processing, paints, and other industrial processes. Also, Cd exposure is increasing because of increased recycling of electronic equipment. Pb and Cd are […]

Melatonin, Sleep Disturbance and Cancer Risk.

Posted on March 19, 2009 by Dr. Gary Pack

Our sleep/wake cycle is biorhythmic behavior. Our bodies are in tune with bright, solar days and dark nights. Since the industrial revolution, we have become used to dim days and bright nights. The results are sleep disturbances with increased risk for cardiovascular disease, gastrointestinal disease, diabetes and obesity. Functions of melatonin include pituitary hormone release, […]
