Growth hormone (GH) responses to GH-releasing peptide and to GH-releasing hormone in GH-deficient children
(1995)
The GH-releasing peptides (GHRPs) are a family of hexa- and heptapeptides that specifically stimulate GH secretion in normal adults and children. They would be an attractive potential form of therapy for GH deficiency (GHD) ...
Ames dwarf (Prop1df/Prop1df) mice display increased sensitivity of the major GH-signaling pathways in liver and skeletal muscle
(Elsevier, 2010-04)
CONTEXT: Growth hormone (GH) is an anabolic hormone that regulates growth and metabolism. Ames dwarf mice are natural mutants for Prop1, with impaired development of anterior pituitary and undetectable levels of circulating ...
Arginine induces GH gene expression by activating NOS/NO signaling in rat isolated hemi-pituitaries
(Associação Brasileira de Divulgação Científica, 2012)
The amino acid arginine (Arg) is a recognized secretagogue of growth hormone (GH), and has been shown to induce GH gene expression. Arg is the natural precursor of nitric oxide (NO), which is known to mediate many of the ...
Paenibacillus sp. A59 GH10 and GH11 Extracellular Endoxylanases: Application in Biomass Bioconversion
(Springer New York LLC, 2017-12)
The cost-efficient degradation of xylan to fermentable sugars is of particular interest in second generation bioethanol production, feed, food, and pulp and paper industries. Multiple potentially secreted enzymes involved ...
Effects of treatment with GH alone or in combination with LHRH analog on bone mineral density in pubertal GH-deficient patients
(Endocrine Society, 2002)
The aim of the present study was to assess the impact of treatment with GH with or without LHRH analog (LHRH-A) on bone mineralization of GH-deficient adolescents. We studied 17 pubertal, treatment-naive, GH-deficient ...
A comparative expression analysis of gene transcripts in brain tissue of non-transgenic and GH-transgenic zebrafish (Danio rerio) using a DDRT-PCR approach
(Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2012-06-01)
A presença de níveis mais elevados do hormônio de crescimento (GH) em animais transgênicos poderia levar a várias alterações fisiológicas. Uma linhagem transgênica de paulistinha (Danio rerio) para o GH foi comparada com ...

Validation of silica-collagen nanocomposite for prolonged growth hormone delivery
(Centro Regional de Investigaciones Cientificas y Tecnologicas, 2019)
Pharmacological treatments with growth hormone (GH) in short stature syndromes require daily injections and therefore new formulations are needed. In this context, we have analyzed how surface modifications of silica ...
Identification and characterization of polymorphisms within the 5' flanking region, first exon and part of first intron of bovine GH gene
(Blackwell Publishing, 2006-06-01)
The aim of the present study was to identify and characterize polymorphisms within the 5' flanking region, first exon and part of first intron of the bovine growth hormone gene among different beef cattle breeds: Nelore ...
