(2011)
Introduction: Triglyceride accumulation in the liver is an early feature in the development of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) associated with human obesity, which is a multifactorial syndrome and whose underlying ...
Adrenal function during childhood and puberty in daughters of women with polycystic ovary syndrome
(Endocrine Society, 2009)
Context: In some patients, PCOS may develop as a consequence of an exaggerated adrenarche during pubertal development. Objective: The aim of the study was to assess adrenal function during childhood and pubertal development ...
Interrelationships among serum thyroxine, triiodothyronine, reverse triiodothyronine, and thyroid-stimulating hormone in iodine-deficient pregnant women and their offspring: Effects of iodine supplementation
(1981)
Adaptation to iodine deficiency (ID) requires changes in thyroid and pituitary function that have been well characterized in animals. The present studies were undertaken to analyze the relationships between serum thyroid ...
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 ...
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 ...
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) ...
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 ...
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 ...
Leptin levels are associated with immune response in malnourished infants
(Endocrine Society, 2002)
Circulating leptin levels, proinflammatory and T helper cells type 1 (Th1), Th2 cytokine production, and lymphoproliferative response were measured in 15 infants with primary moderate protein calorie malnutrition on admission ...
