New insights into growth hormone’s actions on the macrophage: implications for non-growth-related actions of growth hormone
hormonal and metabolic factors, including blood glucose levels, exercise, sex hormones, glucocorticoids and thyroid hormone. At the cellular level, the pleiotropic action of GH is elicited by its interaction with the GH receptor (GHR). GHR belongs to class I cytokine receptor superfamily that includes receptors for PRL, leptin and interleukins. The predicted molecular mass of GHR is ~70 kDa. An...
متن کاملNew insights into growth hormone receptor function and clinical implications.
Although used as a therapeutic for 50 years, it is only recently that the application of molecular techniques has provided a basis for understanding growth hormone's (GH) clinical actions. This article reviews progress in our current knowledge of the molecular mechanism of growth hormone (GH) receptor activation based on a number of physicochemical techniques, and documents insights gained into...
متن کاملThe Hypophyseal Growth Hormone, Nature and Actions
many formulae and figures. Its many chapter subheadings give the book its rather terse, outline form. A discussion of methods of isolation, characterization, and determination of purity is followed by successive chapters dealing with reaction rates as a function of substrate concentration, inhibitor action, temperature, and pH. Thermodynamic concepts are well developed in chapters on energetics...
متن کاملRole of SOCS2 in growth hormone actions.
Growth hormone (GH) has numerous effects in the body and is most commonly known for its role in regulating metabolism and body growth. Because GH is involved in many aspects of cell function, its signaling is tightly controlled by several pathways at both the extracellular and intracellular level. Suppressor of cytokine signaling-2 (SOCS2) is one such intracellular regulator of GH signal transd...
متن کاملAntitumorigenic actions of growth hormone-releasing hormone antagonists.
I a recent issue of PNAS, Kiaris et al. (1) reported that JV-1-36, a growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) receptor antagonist, dramatically suppresses the proliferation of human small lung cell carcinoma cell lines grown in athymic nude mice and in culture. The antitumorigenic action of JV-1-36 is consistent with previous reports from the same laboratory demonstrating the effectiveness of th...
