Insulin suppresses growth hormone secretion by rat pituitary cells.
The effects of insulin on basal and hydrocortisone-induced growth hormone (GH) secretion were studied in rat pituitary tumor cells (GH3). Cells were grown in monolayer culture and exposed to exogenously added insulin for up to 8 d. Basal GH secretion was inhibited by insulin (0.7 nM) after a 48-h lag period by approximately 50% (P less than 0.01, vs. untreated control cells). The suppression of...
متن کاملPituitary glycoprotein hormone a-subunit secretion by cirrhotic patients.
Secretion of the alpha-subunit of pituitary glycoprotein hormones usually follows the secretion of intact gonadotropins and is increased in gonadal failure and decreased in isolated gonadotropin deficiency. The aim of the present study was to determine the levels of the alpha-subunit in the serum of patients with cirrhosis of the liver and to compare the results obtained for eugonadal cirrhotic...
متن کاملCortistatin and pituitary hormone secretion in rat.
Cortistatin (CST), a novel neuropeptide, shows high structural homology and functional resemblance with somatostatin. CST binds with high affinity to all somatostatin receptors, and contrary to somatostatin, is also able to bind with MrgX2 and GH secretagogue receptor of ghrelin (GHS-R1) receptors. The aim of the present investigation was to evaluate in vivo the effect of peripheral administrat...
متن کاملPituitary Adrenocorticotropic Hormone Secretion in Humans
To clarify the physiological role of placental corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), we measured plasma CRH, ACTH, and cortisol throughout pregnancy. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) CRH levels and ACTH responsiveness to synthetic CRH were also quantified in pregnant and nonpregnant women. Maternal plasma CRH levels, which increased progressively during pregnancy, correlated well with both ACTH and c...
متن کاملGrowth hormone and prolactin secretion of pituitary adenoma.
Tissue culture of 20 pituitary adenomas (four acromegalies, 15 non-functioning tumors, one Forbes-Albright syndrome) was performed with the Maxmow double cover glass assembly. Growth hormone and prolactin in the medium were measured during the culture. Morphological feature in vitro was also compared with that of the original tumor. In chromophobe adenomas of clinically non-functioning, tum...
