The effects of 10 years of recombinant human growth hormone (GH) in adult GH-deficient patients.
The long term effects of GH replacement in adult GH-deficient (GHD) patients have not yet been clarified. We studied 21 GHD adults who originally took part in a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled trial of GH treatment in 1987. After completion of that trial, 10 patients received continuous GH replacement for the subsequent 10 yr, whereas 11 did not. A group of 11 age- and sex-matched ...
متن کاملInability of heterologous growth hormone (GH) to regulate GH binding protein in GH-transgenic swine.
Transgenic pigs expressing bovine, ovine, or human growth hormone (GH) structural genes fused to mouse metallothionein-I (mMT-bGH), ovine MT (oMT-oGH), or mouse transferrin (mTf-hGH) promoters were used to study the effects of GH on the regulation of serum GH-binding protein (GHBP). In the 14 transgenic pigs studied, circulating concentrations of heterologous GH ranged from 15 to 2,750 ng/mL. U...
متن کاملGrowth hormone (GH) assays: influence of standard preparations, GH isoforms, assay characteristics, and GH-binding protein.
The impact of the adoption of the new biosynthetic growth hormone (GH) WHO International Reference Preparation (IRP 88/624), and the recommendation to report results in microgram/L instead of mU/L, is described. Conversion factors were determined by comparing both the linear and nonlinear relations of the GH values. The Pharmacia polyclonal IRMA (p-IRMA) and the DELFIA monoclonal time-resolved ...
متن کاملImmune growth hormone (GH): localization of GH and GH mRNA in the bursa of Fabricius.
Expression of growth hormone (GH) and GH receptor (GHR) genes in the bursa of Fabricius of chickens suggests that it is an autocrine/paracrine site of GH production and action. The cellular localization of GH and GH mRNA within the bursa was the focus of this study. GH mRNA was expressed mainly in the cortex, comprised of lymphocyte progenitor cells, but was lacking in the medulla where lymphoc...
متن کاملGrowth hormone (GH) provocation tests and the response to GH treatment in GH deficiency.
OBJECTIVE To identify factors, particularly the growth hormone (GH) provocation test result, affecting growth response to GH treatment in children with GH deficiency (GHD). SUBJECTS A total of 337 prepubertal GHD patients aged <10 years from the UK Pharmacia KIGS database (GH response to provocation test <20 mU/l). OUTCOME MEASURE Annual change in height standard deviation score (SDS) (revi...
