Many findings point to the presence of a close relationship between the immune, endocrine and neurologic systems. For example the suppressive effects of β-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG) on IL-l production, the potentiative effect of enkephalins on lymphocyte functions and the suppressive effect of leuteinizing hormone (LH) on natural killer (NK) cell activities have been clearly esta...

Parathyroid hormone and other bone resorptive agents function, at least in part, by inducing osteoblasts to secrete cytokines that stimulate both differentiation and resorptive activity of osteoclasts. We previously identified two potentially important cytokines by demonstrating that parathyroid hormone induces expression by osteoblasts of IL-6 and leukemia inhibitory factor without affecting l...

in this study, the cdna growth hormone (cgh) of the belugasturgeon (husohuso) and russian sturgeon (acipensergueldenstaedtii) were cloned and sequenced, and phylogenetic relationships were examined using nucleic acid and amino acid sequences. the nucleotide sequence of the beluga gh has an open reading frame of 645 nucleotides encoding a protein 214 amino acid residues. the signal peptide cleav...

the mrna expression of growth hormone (gh) gene in early development stages of siberian sturgeon was investigated using rt-pcr method. samples were collected from unfertilized eggs up to 50 days post hatched (dph) larvae in 11 different times. ribosomal protein l6 (rpl6) transcripts were used as the internal standard during quantification of gh mrna expression. the results showed that the gh mr...

recombinant human growth hormone (hgh) was given for 6 months or longer to 68 patients with gh deficiency, 6 with turner's syndrome and 5 with achondroplasia, during 1986-1994 in a prospective study. the total weekly administered dose of gh was 0.6 u/kg. by random sampling, 29 of 68 gh deficient patients (42.6%) received twice weekly (2 iw) intramuscular (im) injections, 17 (25%) received ...

Oral absorption and room temperature storage remain two major challenges limiting the bioavailability of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) due to need overcome unfavorable gastrointestinal environment resist effects on rhGH structure, Therefore, we designed a multifunctional nanoplatform address both problems simultaneously. The carrier consists PLGA, ionic liquid (IL) deoxycholic acid (D...
