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) ...
Functional luteolysis in response to hydrogen peroxide in human luteal cells
(BioScientifica Ltd., 1995)
To evaluate the effect of reactive oxygen species in human corpus luteum function, we investigated whether hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) affects the in vitro luteal cell production of steroids. H2O2 treatment (1.0-100 μM) of ...
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 ...
Early metabolic derangements in daughters of women with polycystic ovary syndrome
(Endocrine Society, 2007)
Context: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a familial endocrine-metabolic dysfunction, increasingly recognized in adolescent girls with hyperandrogenism. However, it is difficult to establish whether the metabolic ...
Clinical review: Hyperandrogenism and polycystic ovary syndrome in women with type 1 diabetes mellitus
(Endocrine Society, 2007)
Context: At present, women with type 1 diabetes (DM1) are being treated with supraphysiological doses of exogenous insulin with the aim of providing a strict metabolic control, thereby avoiding the long-term complications ...
Plasma clearance and tissue distribution of labelled chicken and human ICF-I and ICF-II in the chicken
(BioScientifica Ltd., 1996)
The metabolic clearance of chicken IGF-I (cIGF-I), cIGF-II, human IGF-I (hIGF-I), and hIGF-II was examined in the chicken using 125I-labelled growth factors. Superose-12 chromatography of plasma collected at 7.5 min ...
