Deficiencies in GH- or sex hormone-dependent signaling and the influence of sex hormones on GH biology may have a dramatic impact on liver physiology during somatic development and in adulthood. Effects of sex hormones on the liver may be direct, throu...
متن کاملDevelopmental Biology: miRs and Steroids and Growth Control
The Drosophila miRNA-encoding gene bantam controls cell and tissue growth. A new study now reveals that a large part of its effects on growth could come from its inhibition of the production of the molting hormone ecdysone.
متن کاملInhaled steroids in children: adrenal suppression and growth impairment.

It appears that hydrogen atoms at position 17 are of critical importance since related compounds with a ketone group at this site are inactive. Monofunctional steroids with a hydroxyl or a ketone group at...
