Growth Hormone, Not Simply Just a Hormone for Growth. [PDF]

Endocrinol Metab (Seoul)
Since its discovery almost 100 years ago, growth hormone (GH) has been extensively studied to elucidate its structural characteristics, receptor interactions and its physiologic and non-physiologic effects. These actions include but are not limited to its effects on somatic growth, substrate metabolism, body composition, bone mineral density ...

Growth hormone releasing hormone or growth hormone treatment in growth hormone insufficiency? [PDF]

Archives of Disease in Childhood, 1988
Sixteen prepubertal children who were insufficient for growth hormone were treated with growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) 1-40 and GHRH 1-29 for a mean time of nine months (range 6-12 months) with each peptide. Eleven children received GHRH 1-40 in four subcutaneous nocturnal pulses (dose 4-8 micrograms/kg/day) and eight (three of whom were also ...

Decrease in adiponectin levels correlates to growth response in growth hormone-treated children

, 2009
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Adiponectin is secreted by adipose tissue and circulates in human plasma at high levels. Decreased adiponectin levels are associated with insulin resistance and obesity.

Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone and Growth Hormone: Genetic Studies in Familial Growth Hormone Deficiency [PDF]

Pediatric Research, 1985
Four families with growth hormone (GH) deficiency, either isolated or with other pituitary hormonal deficits are described. Members of each underwent pharmacological testing for GH secretion and infusions of GH releasing hormone (GHRH) to determine the locus of the defect in GH secretion.

Harmonization of growth hormone measurements with different immunoassays by data adjustment [PDF]

, 2011
Background: The aim of our study was to evaluate the between-assay variability of commercially available immunoassays for the measurement of human growth hormone (hGH).

TREATMENT OF GROWTH-HORMONE DEFICIENCY WITH GROWTH-HORMONE-RELEASING HORMONE

The Lancet, 1987
18 prepubertal growth-hormone (GH)-deficient children were treated with twice-daily subcutaneous injections of a growth-hormone-releasing hormone analogue, GHRH (1-29) NH2. In 12 of the children the height velocity rose on GHRH treatment, and 8 were judged to have shown a worthwhile response to therapy in that their height velocities during the first 6

Effect of long-acting growth hormone treatment on endogenous growth hormone secretion in prepubertal patients with idiopathic short stature: A preliminary study

, 2022
Long-acting growth hormone (LAGH) is emerging to be a new preparation for treatment of short stature. We aimed to determine whether 12-month treatment with LAGH in patients with idiopathic short stature has an effect on the nocturnal endogenous growth ...

Comparison of two prediction models in a clinical setting to predict growth in prepubertal children on recombinant growth hormone

, 2023
Objective: Prediction models that calculate the growth response in children on recombinant growth hormone (GH) have shown to be helpful tools in deciding who should start treatment, as identifying GH deficiency can be a challenge. The aim of the study is

Consensus guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of adults with growth hormone deficiency: Summary statement of the growth hormone research society workshop on adult growth hormone deficiency

, 1998
Based on the increasing body of evidence that adults with GH deficiency (somatotropin deficiency) have impaired health that improves with GH replacement, many countries have already approved the use of GH for replacement therapy in adults with GH ...
