Reduced release of growth hormone (GH) by the pituitary gland in response to arginine has been proposed as a marker of MSA, but current evidence is conflicting. To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the arginine GH stimulation test, Pellecchia et al. measured the response of GH to arginine ...
test Pediatric endocrinology A test that measures hGH secreted by the pituitary gland in response to arginine, which is used to evaluate infants with growth retardation and adults with pituitary tumors Abnormal values Failure to ↑ hGH may indicate hypopituitarism or dwarfism. SeeGrowth hormone. ...
Herein, we report a case of an 8 -years-old girl who became unresponsive with poor perfusion and no palpable pulse for 10 seconds, immediately post receiving Arginine for Growth Hormone Stimulation testing, and almost 120 minutes after receiving Clonidine for Growth Hormone Stimulation testing. ...
Pituitary Stimulation Used as a diagnostic pituitary stimulant to measure human growth hormone (hGH) reserve for conditions such as panhypopituitarism, pituitary dwarfism, chromophobe adenoma, postsurgical craniopharyngioma, hypophysectomy, pituitary trauma, acromegaly, gigantism, and problems of growth and sta...
The reliability and reproducibility of provocative stimuli of growth hormone (GH) secretion in the diagnosis of GH deficiency are still controversial both in childhood and in adulthood. The combined administration of GH-releasing hormone (GHRH) and arginine (ARG), which likely acts via inhibition of...
Growth hormone (GH) deficiency (GHD) of childhood onset: reassessment of GH status and evaluation of the predictive criteria for permanent GHD in young adu... GH secretion was reevaluated after completion of GH treatment at a mean age of 19.2 +/- 3.2 yr in 35 young adults with childhood-...

We aimed to identify the main native molecule(s) responsible for this effect and to elucidate its mechanism of action. Materials and methods Bacterial strains, media, and growth conditions In the study, we tested three Lactococcus lactis spp. lactis strains (Lc2, Lc3, Lc4), obtained from the...
For instance, PKCι phosphorylates PRMT5 at S15 to enhance its methyltransferase activity upon interleukin-1β stimulation. This phosphorylation activates nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) through methylation of the p65 subunit at R30, ultimately promoting the growth of colorectal cancer cells [101]. ...
We found that shRNA-resistant ARGLU1 can rescue protein expression of ARGLU1, as well as the growth defect of ARGLU1 shRNA knockdown cells in both MTT and colony formation assays (supplemental Fig. S3, B–D). Taken together, these data indicate that ARGLU1 is required for both anchorage-...
