Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" In a randomized trial, we compared the effects of 2 months of treatment with either megestrol acetate (800 mg every day) or oxandrolone (10 mg twice per day) on body weight and composition in patients with weight loss of > or =5 kg who were receiving HAART."9.11Comparing megestrol acetate therapy with oxandrolone therapy for HIV-related weight loss: similar results in 2 months. ( Albrecht, M; Chang, H; Forfia, J; Gerrior, J; Miller, L; Mwamburi, DM; Saboori, S; Scully, E; Wanke, CA; Wilson, IB, 2004)
"We studied the effect of an anabolic steroid, oxandrolone, combined with a high-protein diet (2 g/kg/day) on the rate of weight gain and restoration of muscle function in the recovery phase after deep burns of 30 of 50% of total body surface (n = 7)."9.08Oxandrolone, an anabolic steroid, significantly increases the rate of weight gain in the recovery phase after major burns. ( Demling, RH; DeSanti, L, 1997)
"Oxandrolone, an oral drug that promotes weight gain in people experiencing weight loss, has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for patients with HIV."7.69Oxandrolone for weight gain. ( , 1997)
"Oxandrolone was discontinued after at least 80% of the involuntary weight loss occurring in the acute burn period, was restored."6.71Oxandrolone induced lean mass gain during recovery from severe burns is maintained after discontinuation of the anabolic steroid. ( Demling, RH; DeSanti, L, 2003)

" The decline in weight-for-age z-score was lowest in those receiving the MCT oil preparation suggesting better bioavailability of this preparation and a potential growth benefit with oxandrolone therapy."2.82Use of Oxandrolone to Promote Growth in Neonates following Surgery for Complex Congenital Heart Disease: An Open-Label Pilot Trial.
