Growth hormone secretion is classically modulated by two hypothalamic hormones, growth hormone-releasing hormone and somatostatin. A third pathway was proposed in the last decade, which involves the growth hormone ...

OBJECTIVE: To investigate a possible direct, growth hormone-releasing, hormone-independent action of a growth hormone secretagogue, GHRP-2, in pituitary somatotroph cells in the presence of inactive growth hormone-releasing ...

To maintain the health and well-being of all mammals, numerous aspects of physiology are controlled by neuroendocrine mechanisms. These mechanisms ultimately enable communication between neurones and glands throughout the ...

To investigate whether or not a cholinergic pathway is involved in the paradoxical response of GH to TRH in constitutionally tall children, we studied 8 healthy prepubertal children aged $4^{2}/{_{_{12}}} - 7^{10}/{_{_{12}}} ...

Since D-aspartate stimulates prolactin and LH release, our objective was to determine whether D-aspartate modifies the release of hypothalamic and posterior pituitary factors involved in the control of their secretion and ...

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the leading cause of male cancer-associated mortality worldwide. Mortality is associated with metastasis and hormone resistance. Cellular, genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying metastatic ...

The importance of cryptorchidism treatment concerns the possibility of diminishing risk of malignant degeneration and improving fertility. Success rates of hormonal treatment vary: 0-55%with human chorionic gonadotropin ...
