Clinical studies with recombinant-DNA-derived methionyl human growth hormone in growth hormone deficient children.
Thirty-six children with growth hormone deficiency were treated for up to 48 months with methionyl human growth hormone (hGH) synthesised by DNA recombinant methods. The growth rate for these children increased from 3.2 +/- 1.1 cm/yr to 10.5 +/- 2.2 cm/yr (mean +/- SD). This was similar to the effect of pituitary hGH in ten GH deficient children, 3.8 +/- 1.0 to 10.1 +/- 1.1 cm/yr. Serum somatom...
متن کاملGrowth hormone response to growth hormone-releasing peptide-2 in growth hormone-deficient Little mice
OBJECTIVE To investigate a possible direct, growth hormone-releasing, hormone-independent action of a growth hormone secretagogue, GHRP-2, in pituitary somatotroph cells in the presence of inactive growth hormone-releasing hormone receptors. MATERIALS AND METHODS The responses of serum growth hormone to acutely injected growth hormone-releasing P-2 in lit/lit mice, which represent a model of ...
متن کاملStudies with human growth hormone.
Let me tell you at the outset of my appreciation of the great honour you have done me in asking me to deliver the first Lawson Wilkins Memorial Lecture. I accepted this invitation with eagerness because I cherish any link that binds Lawson Wilkins' life and work to mine. I often turn to the page in the second edition of his great textbook in which he proudly listed the 31 Associates and Fellows...
متن کاملGrowth hormone treatment in non-growth hormone-deficient children
Until 1985 growth hormone (GH) was obtained from pituitary extracts, and was available in limited amounts only to treat severe growth hormone deficiency (GHD). With the availability of unlimited quantities of GH obtained from recombinant DNA technology, researchers started to explore new modalities to treat GHD children, as well as to treat a number of other non-GHD conditions. Although with so...
متن کاملOptimization of growth hormone therapy in growth hormone deficient children.
Successful treatment with human growth hormone (hGH) was initially reported by Raben in 19581. Although itis well established that pituitary derived or biosynthetic hGH increases the growth rate in growth hormone deficient children, many patients that were treated in the early days have not reached their target height, or attained adult height below the third percentile of population standards ...
