BACKGROUND The reason why patients with growth hormone (GH) deficiency (GHD) are at increased risk for premature cardiovascular death is still unclear. Although a variety of vascular risk factors have been identified in GHD, little is known regarding vascular reactivity and its contribution to premature arteriosclerosis. METHODS AND RESULTS We assessed vascular function in 7 childhood-onset, ...
Adult growth hormone (GH) deficiency is a recognised syndrome associated with adverse phenotypic, metabolic, and quality-of-life features which improve in many patients when GH is substituted. The appropriate selection of patients at risk of growth hormone deficiency (GHD) is the crucial first step in arriving at a correct diagnosis. Although multiple diagnostic modalities are available includi...
Peripheral GH insensitivity may underlie idiopathic short stature in children. As the clinical and biochemical hallmarks of partial GH insensitivity have not yet been clearly elucidated, the identification of such patients is still difficult. We integrated functional, biochemical, and molecular studies to define the more reliable marker(s) of GH insensitivity. In particular, we measured GH rece...
In lower or simple species, such as worms and flies, disruption of the insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 and the insulin signaling pathways has been shown to increase lifespan. In rodents, however, growth hormone (GH) regulates IGF-1 levels in serum and tissues and can modulate lifespan via/or independent of IGF-1. Rodent models, where the GH/IGF-1 axis was ablated congenitally, show increased...
GH secretagogues are an expanding class of synthetic peptide and nonpeptide molecules that stimulate the pituitary gland to secrete GH through their own specific receptor, the GH-secretagogue receptor. The cloning of the receptor for these nonclassical GH releasing molecules, together with the more recent characterization of an endogenous ligand, named ghrelin, have unambiguously demonstrated t...
High local GH-releasing hormone (GHRH) levels are capable of inducing transdifferentiation in salivary cells to synthesize GH. However, the factors implicated in this process remain unknown. To study this subject, normal and Ames dwarf mice were implanted in the submaxillary gland with a slow release pellet releasing 21 microgram GHRH (1-29)-NH(2)/day for 2 months. Control animals received plac...
Growth Hormone (GH) stimulates growth plate chondrogenesis and longitudinal bone growth, with its stimulatory effects being primarily mediated by Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1), both systemically and locally in the growth plate. It has been shown that the transcription factor Stat5b mediates the GHpromoting effect on IGF-1 expression and on chondrogenesis: yet, it is not known whether oth...
The effects of recombinant human growth hormone (GH, 0.1 U ⋅ kg body wt-1 ⋅ 12 h-1) on systemic and renal acid-base homeostasis were investigated in six normal subjects with preexisting sustained chronic metabolic acidosis, induced by NH4Cl administration (4.2 mmol ⋅ kg body wt-1 ⋅ day-1). GH administration increased and maintained plasma bicarbonate concentration from 14.1 ± 1.4 to 18.6 ± 1.1 ...
B2036-PEG, a GH receptor (GH-R) antagonist, is an analog of GH that is PEG-modified to prolong its action. Nine mutations alter the binding properties of this molecule, preventing GH-R dimerization and GH action. A potential therapeutic role of B2036-PEG is to block GH action, e.g. in refractory acromegaly. A phase I, placebo-controlled, single rising-dose study was performed in 36 normal young...
Because estrogen production and age are strong covariates, distinguishing their individual impact on hypothalamo-pituitary regulation of growth hormone (GH) output is difficult. In addition, at fixed elimination kinetics, systemic GH concentration patterns are controlled by three major signal types [GH-releasing hormone (GHRH), GH-releasing peptide (GHRP, ghrelin), and somatostatin (SS)] and by...
