Anabolic agents in kidney disease: the effect of formebolone on protein synthesis in patients with renal insufficiency or nephrosis

R Esposito et al. Curr Med Res Opin. 1975.

Abstract

The anabolic activity of formebolone was studied in 7 patients with nephrosis or renal insufficiency by measuring the amount of 14C-leucine incorporated into plasma proteins as an index of protein synthesis. The data demonstrate that the incorporation of label into the plasma albumin fraction was significantly increased after formebolone administration.
