The importance of growth hormone (GH) and its receptor in the regulation of postnatal somatic growth is highlighted by the demonstration of point mutations and deletions in the gene encoding the GH receptor in human patients with Laron type dwarfism (1) and in sex-linked dwarfism in the ...
Effects of growth hormone substitution on mental performance in adults with growth hormone deficiency: a pilot study. Before and at the end of each treatment period, five psychometric tests evaluating cognitive functions were performed. The results suggest a beneficial effect of growth hormone on certa...
The effects of growth hormone-releasing factor, hpGRF (1-40), on plasma GH levels were studied in chronically catheterized ovine fetuses between 71 to 134 days of gestation. The basal ovine (o) GH levels in the fetus ranged between 41 - ... E Ohmura,A Jansen,V Chernick,... - 《En...
Plant hormones are a group of naturally occurring, organic substances which influence physiological processes at low concentrations. The processes influenced consist mainly of growth, differentiation and development, though other processes, such as stomatal movement, may also be affected. Plant hormones hav...
Hormone‐dependent pathologic conditions are manifold and dysregulations need to be treated in order to warrant a healthy human body. Idiopathic short stature of children can, for example, be treated with growth hormones and researchers analyse the impact of hormone replacement therapy on well‐being...
Appropriate use of estrogen replacement therapy in adolescents and young adults with Turner syndrome and hypopituitarism in light of the Women's Health Ini... Adolescents and young adult females who are hypoestrogenic need gonadal hormone therapy for sexual development, enhancement of growth, and maint...
3. Dopamine-containing fibres with terminals in the hypothalamus play a role in regulating secretion of growth hormone releasing factor and, perhaps, others. Other monoamines seem to be similarly related to other releasing factors (RFs). 4. Our new understanding of the neurochemistry of the ...

Radiation, which uses high-energy X-rays to kill cancer cells or stop their growth Chemotherapy, strong medicines that kill cancer cells or stop them from dividing Hormone therapy, which blocks hormones that help the cancer grow Targeted therapy, which blocks proteins and signals cancer cells need...
Lack of significant genotype contributions in long-term fear memory extinction when freezing is measured during the inter-trial interval. The normalized percent freezing decreases with repeated CS-alone trials when freezing is measured during the interval between trials. Note that there is significant ex...
