Acquired growth hormone resistance in patients with chronic heart failure: implications for therapy with growth hormone.
OBJECTIVES We aimed to determine whether growth hormone (GH) resistance is present in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) and whether it may be linked to the biochemical response to GH treatment. BACKGROUND Acquired GH resistance is a feature of severe illness, in particular, cachexia. In patients with CHF, the response to GH therapy appears to be variable. METHODS Biochemical markers...
متن کاملOptimization of growth hormone therapy in growth hormone deficient children.
Successful treatment with human growth hormone (hGH) was initially reported by Raben in 19581. Although itis well established that pituitary derived or biosynthetic hGH increases the growth rate in growth hormone deficient children, many patients that were treated in the early days have not reached their target height, or attained adult height below the third percentile of population standards ...
متن کاملSome immunological properties of rabbit antiserum to mouse growth hormone.
As a fundamental experiment for the study on the role of growth hormone in mouse mammary gland, some immunological properties of rabbit antiserum to mouse growth hormone (MGH) were studied. Antiserum was obtained by immunizing New Zealand White male rabbits with MGH preparation extracted from mouse anterior pituitaries. The precipitin titer of the antiserum by precipitin ring test against MGH p...
متن کاملShouldn't adults with growth hormone deficiency be offered growth hormone replacement therapy?

The following are addressed in this commentary: the evidence on safety and efficacy in the literature supporting the idea that growth hormone should be offered as replacement therapy to adults who are growth hormone deficient; common concerns of the...
متن کاملPsychological effects of withdrawal of growth hormone therapy from adults with growth hormone deficiency.
OBJECTIVE Growth hormone (GH) is known to be required for physical well-being. Although it is also widely believed to be important for quality of life (QoL) and psychological health, there is less supportive evidence. The objective of this study was to investigate the psychological effects of discontinuation of GH replacement from adults with severe GH deficiency (GHD). DESIGN A double-blind,...
