Insulin-like growth factor and growth hormone secretion in juvenile chronic arthritis.
Insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) concentrations were determined in a series of 23 children with juvenile chronic arthritis in conjunction with anthropometric assessment. When standardised z scores were used significant decreases in height and weight were shown in comparison with the normal age/sex matched means. Severe growth disturbance was seen, particularly in those with prolonged disease ...
متن کاملBiosynthesis of Growth Hormone and Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I and the Regulation of their Secretion
This report reviews the current knowledge on the biosynthesis, regulation and secretion of Growth Hormone (GH) and Insulin-like Growth factor-I (IGF-I). Variants of human GH, molecular size variants as well as charge variants, and the GH binding protein will be discussed, and the regulation of expression of the hGH gene is reviewed. IGF-I expression, regulation of the igf-I gene and secretion i...
متن کاملNormal Sweat Secretion Despite Impaired Growth Hormone-Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I Axis in Obese Subjects
Adults with GH deficiency are known to exhibit reduced sweating. Whether sweating capacity is impacted in obese subjects with impaired GH secretion have not previously been investigated. The main objective was to investigate sweat secretion rate and the GH-IGF-I axis in obese subjects before and after weight loss. Sixteen severely obese women (BMI, 40.6 ± 1.1 kg/m(2)) were investigated before a...
متن کاملGrowth Hormone and Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1.
Human growth hormone (GH) was first isolated from the human pituitary gland in 1945 and found to promote the growth of children with hypopituitarism. Since the formation of the World Anti-Doping Association, human GH has appeared on the list of forbidden substances. There is a significant amount of anecdotal evidence that human GH is misused by athletes to enhance performance, and there have be...
متن کاملAgeing and longevity are related to growth hormone/insulin-like growth factor-1 secretion.
BACKGROUND It is known that the growth process is related to an individual's life-span, but the role of growth hormone (GH) secretion in human ageing remains unknown. OBJECTIVE This study has focussed on the influence of GH on ageing parameters and on its relationship with human longevity. METHODS To deal with the first issue, we compared ageing parameters of young (up to 39) and old (over ...
