objective prader-willi syndrome (pws) is a genetic syndrome presenting with severe hypotonia and decreased agility. growth hormone (gh), which is often used in these patients to treat short stature and obesity, seems improve hypotonia, physical strength, activity, and locomotor developmental ability. the aim of this study was to find the effects of growth hormone on agility and strength of thes...

objective(s): to investigate the chronopharmacological effects of growth hormone on executive function and the oxidative stress response in rats. materials and methods: fifty male wistar rats (36-40 weeks old) had ad libitum access to water and food and were separated into four groups: diurnal control, nocturnal control, diurnal gh-treated, and nocturnal gh-treated animals. levels of cu, zn sup...

conclusions this case highlights the fact that fhr and ghd may coexist, with possible masking effect of one on the other, thereby misleading the approach, posing large impacts on therapy, which has historically been a difficult challenge in fhr patients. introduction coincided familial hypophosphatemic rickets (fhr) and hypopituitarism is a rare condition. growth hormone deficiency (ghd) evalua...

a binding study of nickel ions by a new recombinant human growth hormone (hgh), produced as an injected drug, has been done at 27˚c in nacl solution (50 mm) using an isothermal titration calorimetry. there is a set of three identical and non-interacting binding sites for nickel ions. the intrinsic dissociation equilibrium constant and the molar enthalpy of binding are 40 μm and -16.5 kj/mol, re...

the siberian sturgeon (acipenser baerii) is an economically important species. sturgeon stockassessment during fingerling production is considered to be one of the most difficult phases ofhatchery rearing. the present study investigated the expression of growth hormone (gh)mrna in unfertilized eggs, fertilized eggs, eyed eggs (2 day before hatching), non-viable eggsand newly-hatched siberian st...

background and objective: endocrine disorders are common in patients with chronic kidney disease (ckd). the aim of the present study is reviewing available literature to give a deep understanding of complexities of endocrine disorders in chronic kidney disease. methods: a narrative reviewing method based on the available literature was approached. findings: generally, when renal function decrea...

introduction intra-articular injections of platelet rich plasma (prp) for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis have been shown to reduce pain and improve joint function. the aim of this study is to examine the joint function by adding intra-articular growth hormone to platelet rich plasma. this study was performed on the individuals with knee osteoarthritis and under ultrasound guidance. conclu...

the batch fermentation production of human growth hormone (hgh) was studied in a newrecombinant escherichia coli. the effect of different levels of dissolved oxygen and glucoseconcentration on cell density and substrate utilization were evaluated. the results indicated that theoptimum level of dissolved oxygen was 25% of air saturation. the specific growth rate reached amaximum for an optimal g...

introduction: this research was aimed at examining acute responses of hormones such as growth hormone (gh), total testosterone (tt), free testosterone (ft), free fatty acid (ffa) and cortisol to resistance (r), endurance (e) and endurance-resistance (er) exercise. methods: the participants of this study were 10 healthy young men. r protocol included bench press, lateral pull down, leg extension...
