Guest guest Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 We meant yesterday afternoon when they " released " me. And I will share a little here but I actually know little more than you. The word Dr. M. used is " 17-Hydroxy-steroids. " 5 min. summary is here…. This is as far as I got before I literally ran out of gas last night! I woke up 4 hrs later, went to bed and now it is 5 am and I will finish that thought! From the patent info: 17-Hydroxy-steroids Patent 4898694 Issued on February 6, 1990 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to novel steroids and more particularly to androsterone derivatives useful as anti-cancer, anti-obesity, anti-diabetic, and hypolipidemic agents and useful for combatting coronary diseases. I'm early in understanding but it appears this or a mutation is suspected to be in my gene pool./ Okay, 3d try and I will send this today whether or not I get it finished! I don't know much more since I spent last night in the ER. I knew early that they were investigating hyperaldosteronism as a " masking " condition and were more concerned about what was hiding behind it. They were quite surprised when I used the term CYP11B1 because this is apparently a close relative of Cortisol. That is likely why Spironolactone is not right in this condition. When there is already an excess cort issue and the action of spiro increases it more it becomes a " DOUBLE WHAMMY " ! Sorry for the technical jargon, I'll work on the complete answer, maybe! I'll send this now before I get distracted again. I still need to figure out where this trip is headed but am honored to have a front row seat! We'll need to decide how much you want to know. .....
