Determinants of GH resistance in malnutrition.

چکیده
States of undernutrition are characterized by GH resistance. Decreased total energy intake, as well as isolated protein-calorie malnutrition and isolated nutrient deficiencies, result in elevated GH levels and low levels of IGF1. We review various states of malnutrition and a disease state characterized by chronic undernutrition - anorexia nervosa - and discuss possible mechanisms contributing to the state of GH resistance, including fibroblast growth factor 21 and Sirtuin 1. We conclude by examining the hypothesis that GH resistance is an adaptive response to states of undernutrition, in order to maintain euglycemia and preserve energy.

Systemic inflammation, growth factors, and linear growth in the setting of infection and malnutrition
OBJECTIVES Deficits in weight gain and linear growth are seen frequently among children in areas where malnutrition and recurrent infections are common. Although both inflammation and malnutrition can result in growth hormone (GH) resistance, the interrelationships of infection, inflammation, and growth deficits in developing areas remain unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate relations...

Background & Aim: Protein-Energy malnutrition is one of the most important world’s health problems, especially among the children under the age of 5. Thus, this study was conducted with regard to the known complications and different reports of the prevalence and the determinants of this disorder. The goal of the present study was to determine the prevalence and determinants of protein-ener...
متن کاملIGF-I and/or growth hormone preserve diaphragm fiber size with moderate malnutrition.
Resistance to the anabolic effects of growth hormone (GH) occurs with severe caloric deficit. This study examined whether moderate caloric deficit (50% of daily intake for 7 days) in the adolescent rat exceeds a critical threshold for GH action and whether a combination of GH and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) would have enhanced anabolic effects on the diaphragm (Dia). Five groups of rat...

Malnutrition-related diabetes mellitus (MRDM) is a major form of secondary diabetes, restricted to tropical developing countries. We studied 200 cases of diabetes mellitus aged 6-18 years in Fars Province to find the prevalence of MRDM. There were 14 cases who had clinical and laboratory findings compatible with MRDM. The mean age at presentation was 8.6±3 years, with a male to female ratio...
متن کاملSIRT1 regulates adaptive response of the growth hormone--insulin-like growth factor-I axis under fasting conditions in liver.
Adaptation under fasting conditions is critical for survival in animals. Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), a protein deacetylase, plays an essential role in adaptive metabolic and endocrine responses under fasting conditions by modifying the acetylation status of various proteins. Fasting induces growth hormone (GH) resistance in the liver, leading to decreased serum insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) level...
