Growth hormone nadir during oral glucose load depends on waist circumference, gender and age: normative data in 231 healthy subjects. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Objective  (i) To analyse the predictors of GH suppression after standard glucose load (oGTT) in the healthy population and (ii) to establish the 97th percentile of GH nadir post-oGTT according to these variables.

Pasireotide for the Medical Management of Feline Hypersomatotropism [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
BACKGROUND: Feline hypersomatotropism (HST) is a cause of diabetes mellitus in cats. Pasireotide is a novel multireceptor ligand somatostatin analog that improves biochemical control of humans with HST.

Pasireotide Long-Acting Release Treatment for Diabetic Cats with Underlying Hypersomatotropism [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
BACKGROUND: Long‐term medical management of hypersomatotropism (HS) in cats has proved unrewarding. Pasireotide, a novel somatostatin analogue, decreases serum insulin‐like growth factor 1 (IGF‐1) and improves insulin sensitivity in cats with HS when ...

Acromegaly presenting with myelopathy due to ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament: a case report

open access: yesBMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2021
Background Acromegaly is a rare disease caused by high serum levels of growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), often originating from a pituitary adenoma.

Serum N-Terminal Type III Procollagen Propeptide: An Indicator of Growth Hormone Excess and Response to Treatment in Feline Hypersomatotropism [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
BACKGROUND: N‐terminal type III procollagen propeptide (PIIINP) is a biomarker of soft tissue proliferation. Hypersomatotropism (HS) is associated with soft tissue proliferation.

Growth Hormone (GH)-Releasing Peptide Stimulation of GH Release from Human Somatotroph Adenoma Cells: Interaction with GH-Releasing Hormone, Thyrotropin- Releasing Hormone, and Octreotide. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
The synthetic hexapeptide GH-releasing peptide (GHRP; His-D-Trp-Ala-Trp-D-Phe-Lys-NH2) specifically stimulates GH secretion in humans in vivo and in animals in vitro and in vivo via a still unknown receptor and mechanism.

Association of Vitamin D Receptor Polymorphisms With Activity of Acromegaly, Vitamin D Status and Risk of Osteoporotic Fractures in Acromegaly Patients

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2019
Introduction: The vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene is one of the most widely studied tumorigenesis-related genes. The primary objective of this study was assessment of possible roles of VDR gene polymorphisms in acromegaly, with regard to the activity of ...

Rheumatic manifestations of acromegaly [PDF]

open access: yesОстеопороз и остеопатии, 2020
Acromegaly is a chronic endocrine disease characterized by excessive secretion of growth hormone (GH), which, in turn, leads to increased insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) secretion by the liver.

Gene Expression Signature in Adipose Tissue of Acromegaly Patients. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
To study the effect of chronic excess growth hormone on adipose tissue, we performed RNA sequencing in adipose tissue biopsies from patients with acromegaly (n = 7) or non-functioning pituitary adenomas (n = 11).

Extra-hepatic Acromegaly [PDF]

open access: yesUS Endocrinology, 2010
After the introduction of somatostatin analogs (LA-SMSA) and the growth hormone (GH) receptor antagonist, pegvisomant (Peg-v) normal serum insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) concentrations in virtually every patients with acromegaly is possible. The impact of these products on the GH–IGF1 axis is completely different.
