Thyroid hormone status within the physiological range affects bone mass and density in healthy men at the age of peak bone mass [PDF]
Context: The hormonal factors involved in the regulation of peak bone mass (PBM) in men have not been fully investigated. Apart from gonadal steroids and somatotropic hormones, thyroid hormones are known to affect bone maturation and homeostasis and are ...

Early versus late initiation of GH replacement in adult-onset hypopituitarism
Introduction: Adult-onset growth hormone deficiency (AGHD) is usually the la st deficiency to be substituted in hypopituitarism. In children wit h documented GH deficiency, treatment without delay is crucial for achieving opt imal effects on growth and ...

Adipocyte JAK2 Regulates Hepatic Insulin Sensitivity Independently of Body Composition, Liver Lipid Content, and Hepatic Insulin Signaling. [PDF]
Disruption of hepatocyte growth hormone (GH) signaling through disruption of Jak2 (JAK2L) leads to fatty liver. Previously, we demonstrated that development of fatty liver depends on adipocyte GH signaling.

Human Pancreas GH-Releasing Factor Analog Restores High-Amplitude GH Pulses in CNS Lesion-Induced GH Deficiency [PDF]
Lesions of the ventromedial-arcuate (VMH-ARC) region of the hypothalamus result in impaired growth accompanied by a marked suppression in spontaneous GH secretory bursts. We studied the effects of an analog of the recently characterized human pancreas GH-

Clinical Insights Into Hypercalcemia of Malignancy in Childhood
ABSTRACT Hypercalcemia of malignancy (HCM) is a rare but life‐threatening metabolic emergency in children that occurs in less than 1% of pediatric cancer cases, with a reported incidence ranging from 0.4% to 1.0% across different studies. While it is observed in 10%–20% of adult malignancies, pediatric HCM remains relatively uncommon.

GROWTH HORMONE THERAPY FOR ADULT GROWTH HORMONE DEFICIENCY
SUMMARYGrowth hormone deficiency in adult life is associated with a number of adverse biological changes which include osteopenia, reduced exercise capacity, altered body composition, deleterious alterations in the lipid profile and insulin status, and reduced quality of life. Most of these changes can be reversed by growth hormone replacement therapy,
