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 ...
Late luteal phase administration of RU486 for three successive cycles does not disrupt bleeding patterns or ovulation
(1987)
RU486, a 19-nor steroid, binds with high affinity to the receptors for progesterone and glucocorticoids, blocking the actions of these hormones on their target tissues. We conducted studies to determine whether RU486 ...
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, ...
Adrenal Rest Tumor of the Liver Causing Cushing’s Syndrome: Treatment withKetoconazole preceding an Apparent Surgical Cure
(1985)
Ketoconazole, an imidazole derivative known to inhibit cytochrome P450-dependent adrenal enzymes was given to a patient with a functioning adrenal rest tumor of the liver in preparation for surgery. The drug was administered ...
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 ...
THE HYPOTHALAMIC‐PITUITARY‐ADRENAL AXIS IN INFANTILE MALNUTRITION
(1990)
We studied the circadian rhythm and the response of the hypothalamic‐pituitary‐adrenal (HPA) axis to ovine corticotrophin releasing hormone (oCRH) stimulation and dexamethasone suppression in 32 children with grade II‐III ...
Certain large forms of circulating immunoreactive human growth hormone are in fact immunoglobulins
(1990)
To explain frequent discordances between serum GH levels and clinical manifestation of acromegaly, we investigated the possibility that certain immunoglobulins G (IgGs) might be responsible for the displacement of [125I]human ...
Hyperprolactinemia and galactorrhea: Spontaneous versus iatrogenic hypothyroidism
(1981)
Although hyperprolactinemia and galactorrhea occur in primary hypothyroidism, factors influencing their presence are not well established. To further define these factors, the duration of illness and serum levels of PRL ...
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, ...
