Fasting and post-glucose ghrelin levels in SGA infants: Relationships with size and weight gain at one year of age
(2002)
Wide ranges in postnatal weight gain are seen in infants born small for gestational age (SGA); most show some catch-up growth and this may be driven by increased appetite. Ghrelin, the natural ligand of the GH secretagogue ...
Progesterone synthesis by human luteal cells: Modulation by estradiol
(1994)
To assess the role of estradiol (E2) upon progesterone (P4) synthesis, a well defined human midluteal cell system was used. A dose-dependent inhibition of P4 synthesis with and without hCG was induced by E2. In addition, ...
Human lactational response to oral thyrotropin releasing hormone
(1976)
Several studies were designed to evaluate the effect of oral TRH on prolactin (PRL) secretion and mammary function in nursing women. Initially, efficacy was studied in nursing women following 5 mg TRH. PRL levels rose to ...
Acetaminophen-induced liver oxidative stress and hepatotoxicity: Influence of Kupffer cell activity assessed in the isolated perfused rat liver
(Maney Publishing, 1997)
The influence of acetaminophen (APAP) treatment (400 mg/kg) on Kupffer cell function was studied in the isolated perfused liver by colloidal carbon infusion, concomitantly with parameters related to oxidative stress ...
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) ...
Thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3): Effects of iodine on the serum concentrations and disposal rates in subjects from an endemic goiter area
(1974)
In iodine-deficient subjects the T3 and T4 peripheral metabolism was studied. A diminished disposal rate of T4 and an increase in T3 were found. Serum concentrations and disposal rates of both hormones were determined ...
A human placental hormone (UTPH) with uterine growth and DNA promoting effects
(1975)
A human placental protein previously described is studied in order to expand its biological characterization. Dose response curve of its action on uterine growth of prepuberal mice showed to be a significant logarithmic ...
Urinary cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate response in McCune-Albright syndrome: Clinical evidence for altered renal adenylate cyclase activity
(1995)
The recent finding of an activating mutation in the Gs α protein, the protein that couples receptors to stimulation of adenylate cyclase, from endocrine and nonendocrine tissues of patients with McCune-Albright syndrome ...
Features of natural and gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist-induced corpus luteum regression and effects of in vivo human chorionic gonadotropin
(Endocrine Society, 2007)
Context: The natural process of luteolysis and luteal regression is induced by withdrawal of gonadotropin support. Objective: The objectives of this study were: 1) to compare the functional changes and apoptotic features ...
