Medium and long-term outcome of growth hormone therapy in growth hormone deficient adults.
We evaluated long-term replacement therapy outcomes in various subsets of patients with adult growth hormone (GH) deficiency (AGHD) as well as the patients' susceptibility to adverse events. Fifty-nine patients with AGHD were evaluated, 27 with childhood onset (CO) (18-44 years old, 12 females) and 32 with adult onset (AO) (27-70 years, 18 females). A significant improvement in HDL-cholesterol ...
متن کاملLong-term follow-up results of growth hormone therapy for patients with adult growth hormone deficiency.
OBJECTIVE We evaluated the long-term effects of growth hormone (GH) on markers of quality of life, glucose metabolism, and lipid metabolism to validate the adequacy of long-term GH replacement therapy for adult GH deficiency (AGHD). DESIGN Eighty-three of 100 sequentially followed patients who received GH therapy were selected for this study. Forty-nine were men aged 26 to 78 years (mean, 52 ...
متن کاملLong-term thyroid hormone replacement therapy
In recent years the number of patients with hypothyroidism has significantly increased. It is the result of increased prevalence of autoimmune thyroid disease, increased frequency of total thyroid resections and also common radioiodine thyroid ablation in patients with hyperthyroidism or differentiated thyroid cancers. The treatment of hypothyroidism is considered by many physicians as effortle...
متن کاملGrowth hormone-independent cardioprotective effects of hexarelin in the rat.
We previously reported that induction of selective GH deficiency in the rat exacerbates cardiac dysfunction induced by experimental ischemia and reperfusion performed on the explanted heart. In the same model, short-term treatment with hexarelin, a GH-releasing peptide, reverted this effect, as did GH. To ascertain whether hexarelin had non-GH-mediated protective effects on the heart, we compar...
متن کاملChanges during Long-term Growth
Growth rate and concentrations of sulfates, sulfides, proteins and glucosamine were analyzed during long-term (over 60 days) incubation of Desulfotomaculum acetoxidans DSM 771. To imitate natural conditions, incubation was done in obligate anaerobic conditions in three series, without stirring or shaking. In the first 2–3 days of incubation (lag phase), only a decrease of the sulfate level occu...
