Growth hormone treatment and risk of malignancy
Growth hormone (GH) treatment has been increasingly widely used for children with GH deficiencies as the survival rate of pediatric patients with malignancies has increased. Both GH and insulin-like growth factor-I have mitogenic and antiapoptotic activity, prompting concern that GH treatment may be associated with tumor development. In this review, the authors examined the relationship between...
متن کاملCoronary atherogenic risk factors in women.
Cardiovascular disease, primarily coronary heart disease (CHD), remains the most frequent cause of death in Western industrialized nations: nearly one in every two deaths are currently attributable to CHD. Since the 1980s, gender-specific trends have become apparent in these statistics: whereas coronary–vascular mortality has appreciably decreased among men, women have conversely experienced a ...
متن کاملAtherogenic Dyslipidemia and Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Obese Children
Childhood obesity when associated with serum lipoprotein changes triggers atherosclerosis. Evidences suggest that the atherosclerotic process begins in childhood and that the extent of early atherosclerosis of the aorta and coronary arteries can be associated with lipoprotein levels and obesity. Furthermore, many studies in childhood demonstrate an important relationship between parameters of i...
متن کاملThe Decreased Growth Hormone Response to Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone in Obesity Is Associated to Cardiometabolic Risk Factors
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between GHRH-induced GH secretion in obese premenopausal women and cardiovascular risk markers or insulin resistance. Premenopausal obese women, aged 35-52 years, were studied. GH secretion, IGF-I, serum cardiovascular risk markers, insulin, leptin, mid-waist and hip circumference, total body fat, and truncal fat were measured. Subje...
