Growth hormone (GH) is a 191 amino acid, single-chain peptide synthesized in the somatotropic cells of the anterior pituitary gland and is often referred to as the 'master anabolic hormone.' Its biologic activity is mediated through signal transduction of a ubiquitous GH-specific transmembrane ...
In this review, we analyze the effects of growth hormone on a number of tissues and organs and its putative role in the longitudinal growth of an organism. We conclude that the hormone plays a very important role in maintaining the homogeneity of tissues and organs during the normal development...
BACKGROUND & AIMS: The effects of parenteral growth hormone, glutamine supplementation, and a high carbohydrate-low fat (HCLF) diet on gut adaptation in short-bowel syndrome are unclear. The aim of this study was to compare effects of this treatment regimen and placebo in patients with short-...
A clinical study was carried out to investigate the efficacy and safety of two doses of GH treatment on adult growth hormone deficiency (AGHD) patients in Japan. Dose-responsiveness between GH doses and changes of body composition was examined. A 24-week, randomized, placebo-controlled, double...

CHANGES IN BODY AND BONE COMPOSITION IN ADOLESCENT GROWTH HORMONE RECEPTOR DEFICIENT (GHRD) PATIENTS RECEIVING rhIGF-I AND A GnRH ANALOGPediatric Research publishes original papers, invited reviews, and commentaries on the etiologies of diseases of children and disorders of development, extending from ...
Growth hormone (GH) augments longitudinalbone growthby binding to its receptor at two main sites: the liver and thegrowth plate. In liver, it stimulates the production of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) which is transported to thegrowth platesvia the circulation to stimulate the proliferat...
