Scientific Background

Celiac disease (CD) / gluten intolerance (GI) is one of the most often chronic gastrointestinal diseases. The disease is characterized intolerance for gliadin fractions in wheat or analogous proteins in other cereals. The intake of gluten with food causes by patients chronic but reversible damages of the gastrointestinal mucous membrane which finally manifests histologically in villous atrophy of the small intestine. CD/ GI is genetically strong associated with the alleles DQA1*05 (=0501)/ DQB1*02 (=0201 and 0202) and DQB1*0302.

Endemic Sprue (ES) – in childhood called celiac disease (CD) – leads finally to villous atrophy as a consequence of immune-reactions against own proteins: ES is, therefore (in contrary to bacterial caused tropic sprue) an autoimmune disease developing antibodies against own body proteins (e.g. transglutaminases or the endomysium) by persons sensible for ingredients of cereals (oats in small dimension). Sensible are all persons with the inherited specificity DQ2 and/ or DQ8 of the own-/foreign- discrimination system HLA (= MHC), which is in case of ES are therefore present in superiority (> 95% of Finish, 97% of Italian and 100% of Netherland patients) and in normal healthy persons (Europe) about 25 – 40%. This is the reason why CD/ ES is one of the most (often undetected) diseases. The chronic damages of the small intestine manifest often during 6th and 18th month. The disease is and not limited exclusively to children and also extraintestinal manifestations are described.

In many patients, it is possible to measure the auto-antibodies. But the analysis of the HLA-serotype DQ2 and DQ8 determining genetic profile (mutations A1*05/ B1*02 =DQ2 and B1*0302 =DQ8) possesses much higher sensitivity. Therefore, the PCR test is used for exclusion of suspicious diagnosis for GI/ ES.

EagleBio的5α-雄甾烷-3α，17β-二醇葡糖醛酸化物是C19类固醇，缩写为3α-DiolG，5α二醇G或简称为α二醇G。它主要作为睾丸激素和二氢睾丸激素（DHT）的代谢产物生产。它主要在目标外围组织（例如皮肤）中产生，尤其是在毛囊周围。大量的3α-DiolG刺激会导致过多的头发形成，特别是在女性通常不存在头发的地方。近年来，在研究患有特发性多毛症的妇女的临床研究人员中，人们对这种类固醇的测量越来越感兴趣。已知是3α-DiolG前体的类固醇包括脱氢表雄酮（DHEA），硫酸脱氢表雄酮（DHEAS），二氢睾丸酮（DHT），雄烯二酮和睾丸激素。已显示只有3α-DiolG随多毛症增加而随治疗减少。这种相关性在多囊卵巢综合征（PCO）患者中也得到了证明。3α-DiolG的测定因此被证明是多种方式的有用指标，包括监测特发性多毛症和PCO妇女的治疗进展。此外，接受环孢霉素A治疗的糖尿病患者（无论男女）均显示3α-DiolG水平升高，这种副作用导致以前无毛的区域出现了头发。3α-DiolG的测定因此被证明是多种方式的有用指标，包括监测特发性多毛症和PCO妇女的治疗进展。此外，接受环孢霉素A治疗的糖尿病患者（无论男女）均显示3α-DiolG水平升高，这种副作用导致以前无毛的区域出现了头发。3α-DiolG的测定因此被证明是多种方式的有用指标，包括监测特发性多毛症和PCO妇女的治疗进展。此外，接受环孢霉素A治疗的糖尿病患者（无论男女）均显示3α-DiolG水平升高，这种副作用导致以前无毛的区域出现了头发。
