Potentiation of cytotoxic chemotherapy by growth hormone-releasing hormone agonists.
The dismal prognosis of malignant brain tumors drives the development of new treatment modalities. In view of the multiple activities of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), we hypothesized that pretreatment with a GHRH agonist, JI-34, might increase the susceptibility of U-87 MG glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) cells to subsequent treatment with the cytotoxic drug, doxorubicin (DOX). This con...
متن کاملThe Influence of Estrogens on the Biological and Therapeutic Actions of Growth Hormone in the Liver
GH is main regulator of body growth and composition, somatic development, intermediate metabolism and gender-dependent dimorphism in mammals. The liver is a direct target of estrogens because it expresses estrogen receptors which are connected with development, lipid metabolism and insulin sensitivity, hepatic carcinogenesis, protection from drug-induced toxicity and fertility. In addition, est...
متن کاملBrain histamine and schizophrenia: potential therapeutic applications of H3-receptor inverse agonists studied with BF2.649.
BF2.649, a high affinity and selective non-imidazole histamine H(3)-receptor antagonist/inverse agonist, was found to easily enter the brain after oral administration to mice: it displayed a ratio of brain/plasma levels of about 25 when considering either C(max) or AUC values. At low oral doses (2.5-20mg/kg), it elicited in mice a dose-dependent wakening effect accompanied with a shift towards ...
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...
