Idiopathic Male Osteoporosis and Growth Hormone Deficiency - Original ArticleGürcan KısakolGökhan Özgen
Growth hormone deficiency Growth hormone (GH) deficiency in childhood manifests as growth failure. In adulthood GH deficiency can present with reduced lean body mass, increased abdominal adiposity, reduced energy, higher risk of fracture, depressed mood, and increased risk of cardiovascular mortality...

Thalassemic patients with GH deficiency can safely increase their growth velocity with recombinant human GH for2 years; however, the effect on final height still needs to be determined. 展开 关键词: β-thalassemia major Growth hormone (GH) deficiency Recombinant human GH ...
Growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) and its ability to stimulate the production and release of growth hormone from the pituitary were discovered more than four decades ago. Since then, this hormone has been studied extensively and research into its functions is still ongoing. GHRH has multifacet...
Growth hormone deficiency in adults can lead to serious health problems including abdominal obesity, muscle wasting, fatigue, sexual dysfunction and more.

Objective\ To study the effects of recombinant human growth hormone on skeleton of ovariectomized rats with obvious bone loss.Methods Adult rats began to receive different doses of growth hormone 3 months after ovariectomy and were sacrificed after 8 weeks of treatment.Bone mineral density and serum...
(1) reported a marked increase of cortical bone formation and calcium accretion in adult dogs treated with high doses of growth hormone. Since in osteoporosis, bone formation is insufficient to compensate for the bone loss, human growth hormone (HGH) appears to be a promising substance for the...
The diagnosis of growth hormone deficiency is difficult for a number of reasons. As discussed, random serum growth-hormone levels are not indicative of the overall growth hormone production and, while IGF-1 levels do correlate with overall growth hormone production, IGF-1 levels lack sensitivity to...
