Stunted growth is a major complication of chronic inflammation and recurrent infections in children. Systemic juvenile rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by markedly elevated circulating levels of IL-6 and stunted growth. In this study we found that NSE/hIL-6 transgenic mouse lines expressing high levels of circulating IL-6 since early after birth presented a ...

human growth hormone (hgh) genomic sequence containing 5 exons and 4 introns was cloned in pcdna-3 and the constructed plasmid was subsequently used for transfection ofnlli-3t3 cell line using lipofection technique. expression of hgh in stably transfected cells was assayed using elisa. total rna was extracted from transfected cells and hgh cdna was amplified by rt-pcr using specific primers. th...

Background: Short children face many problems throughout their lives. Consumption of growth hormone and the drugs such as Letrozole, Oxandrolone, and Anastrozole can increase the growth of children and adolescents. There is not an overall estimate of the effects of Letrozole, Oxandrolone, and Anastrozole on the growth of children and adolescents with Idiopathic Short Stature (ISS). There are di...

in this study escherichia coli de3 containing expression vector (pet21a) with cloned persian sturgeon growth hormone (psgh) gene was grown in 10 ml lb broth on a 150 rpm shaker, at the temperature of 37 °c. at the late log phase (determined by od standard curve) 100 μl isopropyl β-d-1-thiogalactopyranoside (iptg) was added for induction of gh synthesis. samples were taken every 2 hours and afte...

Mounting evidence suggests fibromyalgia (FM) symptoms are influenced by dysfunction of the hypothalamic-pituitary-hormonal axes (HPHA) and the immune response system. The predominant FM symptoms of widespread pain, fatigue, sleep disturbance, depression, stiffness and exercise intolerance are related to abnormal levels of growth hormone (GH) and are reminiscent of "sickness behavior"; a syndrom...
