Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism, 1992 In the majority of cases, acromegaly is due to GH hypersecretion by a somatotroph pituitary tumor. The etiology of acromegaly is not known, and may be related to GHRH hypersecretion, intrinsic pituitary defect, or a combination thereof. Recent physiologic data and molecular biology techniques provide insights into the pathophysiology of this condition.

Acromegaly with metastatic renal cell carcinoma: Lung, gluteal and scapular metastasis
Medicine Science, 2018 The association between acromegaly and increased incidence of malignancy has been reported due to high GH and IGF levels. Although the incidence of all malignancies increases in patients with acromegaly, renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has been rarely ...

Differential Tissue Response to Growth Hormone in Mice [PDF]
, 2018 Growth hormone (GH) has been shown to act directly on multiple tissues throughout the body. Historically, it was believed that GH acted directly in the liver and only indirectly in other tissues via insulin‐like growth hormone 1 (IGF‐1).

Acromegaly: pathogenesis & treatment [PDF]
, 2019 Acromegaly is a multi-system disorder whose etiology is most often traced back to a growth hormone-secreting pituitary adenoma (PA). Growth hormone (GH) secretion promotes insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) release from peripheral tissues, leading to ...
