Disposition and Metabolic Fate of Human Growth Hormone
نویسندگان
چکیده
The metabolic effects of human growth hormone have received much attention, but little is known regarding the metabolism of the hormone itself in man. Studies of growth hormone metabolism carried out in experimental animals suggest that both bovine growth hormone and human growth hormone have rapid turnovers. Van Dyke, Simpson, Li and Evans (1) and Gemzell, Heijkenskjdld and Str6m (2) injected rats with large doses of bovine growth hormone and determined plasma levels of growth hormone by the tibial cartilage width assay. The half-lives of disappearance were 26 and 40 minutes, respectively, in the two studies, and the volume of distribution of the hormone was roughly equivalent to the extracellular fluid space. Isotopic methods have also been applied to the study of growth hormone metabolism. Sonenberg and co-workers (3) injected rats with radioiodinated bovine growth hormone and, although their work was principally concerned with tissue localization, they published a graph depicting the disappearance of radioactivity from plasma after a single intravenous injection. The half-life of disappearance was approximately 25 minutes. In the experiments of Salmon, Utiger, Parker and Reichlin (4), radioiodinated human growth hormone had a half-life of disappearance from plasma of 17 minutes when injected into rabbits. Only preliminary reports of the disappearance

Metabolism, pharmacokinetics, tissue distribution, and excretion of [14C]CP-424391 in rats.
CP-424391, 2-amino-N-[3aR-benzyl-2-methyl-3-oxo-2,3,3a,4,6,7-hexahydro-pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridin-5-yl)-1R-benzyloxymethyl-2-oxoethyl]-isobutyramide, is an orally active growth hormone secretagogue currently being developed. In this study, we investigated the metabolic fate and disposition of radiolabeled CP-424391 in rats. Following 15 mg/kg single oral administration to Sprague-Dawley rats, 91% o...
متن کاملInduction of hepatic CYP3A enzymes by pregnancy-related hormones: studies in human hepatocytes and hepatic cell lines.
CYP3A activity is induced by approximately 2-fold during the third trimester of human pregnancy. Placental growth hormone (PGH), estrogens (primarily 17β-estradiol), cortisol, and progesterone have the potential to modulate CYP3A activity. Therefore, we determined whether the elevated plasma concentrations of these hormones during pregnancy induce hepatic CYP3A expression. We incubated sandwich...
متن کاملInducibility of male-specific isoforms of cytochrome p450 by sex-dependent growth hormone profiles in hepatocyte cultures from male but not female rats.
Although in vivo expression levels of the male-specific hepatic isoforms of cytochrome P450 (P450) (CYP2C11, CYP2C13, CYP2A2, and CYP3A2) are determined by the episodic growth hormone profile secreted by male rats, these isoforms have been completely refractory to growth hormone regulation in hepatocyte culture. By using species-specific rat growth hormone, at subphysiologic in vivo concentrati...
متن کاملAge- and sex-related expression and activity of carboxylesterase 1 and 2 in mouse and human liver.
Carboxylesterase (CES) 1 and CES2 are two major hepatic hydrolases responsible for the metabolism of numerous endogenous and exogenous compounds. In this study, age- and sex-dependent expression and activity of CES1 and CES2 were investigated using both animal models and individual human liver s9 samples. The expression and activity of mouse CES1 (mCES1) and mCES2 in the liver were markedly low...
