INSULIN: GROWTH PROMOTING HORMONE IN CRANIOPHARINGIOMA

Effect of Six Months of Aerobic Exercise on Serum Levels of Insulin, Growth Hormone and Insulin-Like Growth Hormone 1 in Sedentary Obese Women

ABSTRACT            Background and Objectives: Inactivity, obesity and hormone disorders can lead to various diseases in obese and non-athletic individuals. The objective of this study was to investigate effects of six months of aerobic exercise on serum levels of insulin, growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth hormone 1 (IGF-1) in sedent...

The insulin superfamily of growth-promoting proteins

Recently, structural analysis of the human transferrin and growth hormone (GH) amino acid sequences has unravelled that they harbor a motif identical to a pattern found in viral oncoproteins known to bind the primarily nuclear tumor suppressor retinoblastoma protein (RB). Since related signatures had previously been identified also in insulin and the two insulin-like growth factors (IGFs), the ...

Disturbances of growth hormone-insulin-like growth factor axis and response to growth hormone in acidosis.

Severe chronic metabolic acidosis (CMA) in rats is associated with poor food intake and downregulation of growth hormone (GH), insulin-like growth factors (IGFs), and liver receptors; the administration of recombinant GH (rGH) fails to improve the growth failure. In mice with carbonic anhydrase II deficiency (CAD), a model of moderate CMA with food intake close to normal, we studied serum level...

Hormone containing growth promoting implants in farmed livestock.

Growth promoting implants have been used in the production of cattle and sheep for over 40 years. Implants improve growth rate (+10 to 30%), feed efficiency (+5 to 15%) and carcass leanness (+5 to 8%). The history of this technology is mainly one of optimizing dose and hormone combinations, although matrices to optimize delivery rates of hormones from implants has received some attention. Estro...
