Growth hormone treatment for growth hormone deficient adults [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Pharmacy and Therapeutics, 1996 Growth hormone (GH) deficiency in adults is now recognized as a clinical syndrome with characteristic signs and symptoms. Numerous trials with daily subcutaneous biosynthetic human growth hormone (hGH) have been conducted in this patient group. Generally, improvements in insulin-like growth factor levels, decreases in total fat mass and increases in ...

High Sensitivity Mass Spectrometric Quantification of Serum Growth Hormone by Amphiphilic Peptide Conjugation [PDF]
J Mass Spectrom 47(2012)1554, 2012 Amphiphilic peptide conjugation affords a significant increase in sensitivity with protein quantification by electrospray-ionization mass spectrometry. This has been demonstrated here for human growth hormone in serum using N-(3-iodopropyl)-N,N,N-dimethyloctylammonium iodide (IPDOA-iodide) as derivatizing reagent.

Label-free assaying of testosterone and growth hormones in blood using surface-enhanced raman spectroscopy [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 This work reports the potential use of surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) in rapid, label-free assaying of testosterone (TE) and growth hormone (GH) in whole blood. Biomarker SERS spectral bands from the two hormones (TE and GH) in intentionally spiked water for injection and in male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rat blood are reported.

Glucose availability but not changes in pancreatic hormones sensitizes hepatic AMPK activity during nutritional transition in rodents [PDF]
, 2020 The cellular energy sensor AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a metabolic regulator that mediates adaptation to nutritional variations in order to maintain a proper energy balance in cells. We show here that suckling-weaning and fasting-refeeding transitions in rodents are associated with changes in AMPK activation and the cellular energy state in ...
