Abstract | PURPOSE: METHODS: We enrolled eight healthy young men in a pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic study of 10, 20 and 40 mg doses of GIPET-enhanced oral acyline. Blood for measurement of serum LH, FSH, testosterone and acyline was obtained prior to each dose of GIPET-enhanced oral acyline and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 and 48 h after dosing. RESULTS: Serum LH, FSH and serum testosterone were significantly suppressed by all doses of GIPET-enhanced oral acyline after 6 h, with suppression reaching a nadir 12 h after dosing. In addition, the 20 and 40 mg doses demonstrated sustained suppression of testosterone for 12-24 h. All hormone concentrations returned to normal 48 h after administration. There were no treatment-related serious adverse events, and laboratory assessments, including liver function tests and creatinine, were unaffected by treatment. CONCLUSIONS:
