Several lines of evidence have suggested a role of the GH/IGF-I axis in the regulation of hemochrome. Many studies have been carried out in GH deficient children and adults about this topic, reporting predominantly a positive effect of recombinant human GH (rhGH) on red series, with no action on serum leucocytes and platelets counts. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of GH deficien...

Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) has been associated with a plethora of adverse effects, consistent with the androgen dependency of multiple reproductive and somatic tissues. One such tissue is the hemopoietic system, and one of the most predictable consequences of ADT is the development of anemia. Although anemia caused by ADT is rarely severe, ADT is often given to frail, elderly men with i...
