"To evaluate the efficacy and safety of oxandrolone in promoting body weight and body cell mass (BCM) gain in HIV-associated weight loss."9.12Oxandrolone in the treatment of HIV-associated weight loss in men: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. ( Bhasin, S; Dobs, A; Glesby, M; Grunfeld, C; Kotler, DP, 2006)
" 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)
"Oxandrolone is an effective adjunct to facilitate weight restoration in patients with COPD-associated weight loss."9.10Reversal of COPD-associated weight loss using the anabolic agent oxandrolone. ( DeGuzman, B; Kramer, T; Yeh, SS, 2002)
"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)
"To evaluate the efficacy and safety of oxandrolone in promoting body weight and body cell mass (BCM) gain in HIV-associated weight loss."5.12Oxandrolone in the treatment of HIV-associated weight loss in men: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study.

( Demling, RH; DeSanti, L, 1997)
" Current studies include the effects of protease inhibitors on blood sugar, the effectiveness of twice a day Crixivan dosing, the effectiveness of adefovir dipivoxil in combination with protease inhibitors, the effectiveness of DMP 266 in combination with several drugs, and the effects of Oxandrolone on weight loss in women."3.70CRIA clinical trials. ( , 1998)
"Oxandrolone was well tolerated in all the patients who were enrolled in the study."2.68Oxandrolone in AIDS-wasting myopathy. ( Berger, JR; Berry, PS; Dudley, R; Hall, CD; Pall, L; Simpson, DM, 1996)
