Selective impairment of growth hormone response to physiological stimuli.
In a consecutive group of 25 children with defective growth being evaluated for growth hormone deficiency, EEG-monitored slow-wave sleep provided discriminatory serum growth hormone responses equivalent to those obtained by arginine and insulin-hypoglycaemia provocation. Exercise was less effective but was able to provide a useful screening test. In 2 subjects with abnormal physiological but no...
متن کاملParathyroid responsiveness to hypocalcemic and hypercalcemic stimuli in adult growth hormone deficiency after growth hormone replacement.
Adult growth hormone deficiency (AGHD) is associated with osteoporosis. Previous reports have suggested that alterations in parathyroid gland responsiveness to changes in calcium concentration may play a role in the genesis of osteoporosis in untreated AGHD patients. We investigated the endogenous parathyroid hormone [PTH-(1-84)] response to hypocalcemic and hypercalcemic stimuli induced by sod...
متن کاملPredicting bull growth performance and carcass composition from growth hormone response to growth hormone-releasing hormone.
Development of practical, physiologically based methods that provide an early, yet accurate, evaluation of a bull's genetic merit could benefit the beef industry. The use of GH response to a single, acute dose of GHRH was evaluated as a predictor of future growth performance and carcass characteristics of weanling bulls. Fifty-six Angus bulls averaging 229 d (SD = 27) of age were administered t...
متن کاملGrowth hormone response to growth hormone-releasing peptide-2 in growth hormone-deficient Little mice
OBJECTIVE To investigate a possible direct, growth hormone-releasing, hormone-independent action of a growth hormone secretagogue, GHRP-2, in pituitary somatotroph cells in the presence of inactive growth hormone-releasing hormone receptors. MATERIALS AND METHODS The responses of serum growth hormone to acutely injected growth hormone-releasing P-2 in lit/lit mice, which represent a model of ...
متن کاملAn fMRI study of human visual cortex in response to spatiotemporal properties of visual stimuli
ABSTRACT Background: The brain response to temporal frequencies (TF) has been already reported, but with no study reported for different TF with respect to various spatial frequencies (SF). Materials and Methods: fMRI was performed by 1.5T GE-system in 14 volunteers during checkerboard, with TFs of 4, 6, 8 and 10Hz in low and high SFs of 0.5 and 8cpd. Results: Average percentage BOLD signa...
