Growth hormone response to GHRH in weanling heifers is positively related (R2 = 0.22; P = 0.03) to their subsequent milk production. Deuterium oxide dilution in calves offers an additional approach to the estimation of milk production of the dam in typical beef cattle production settings. 展开 ...
Another Hormone Receptor May Be Involved In Development and Growth of Prostate Cancer.Examines the association of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) receptors with the progression of prostate cancer. Production of FSH by the pituitary gland; Presence of FSH receptors in prostate tissue; Stages of ...
Effects of glucocorticoid treatment and acute passive immunization with growth hormone-releasing hormone and somatostatin antibodies on endogenous and stim... Despite causing marked inhibition of somatic growth, glucocorticoids enhance both the response to GH-releasing hormone (GHRH) and the amplitude of ...
Human and animal studies support the idea that there are sex differences in the development of diabetic renal disease. Our lab and others have determined that in addition to Ang II (through the AT1R), growth hormone (GH) contributes to renal damage in mo
(IGF-I), the anabolic effector hormone ofGH. All three hormones have receptors in the brain. GH and IGF-I circulate mostly bound to specificbinding proteins; both these hormones cross the blood–brain barrier via thechoroid plexus, with their actions on the brain depending on the hormone ...
Human Growth Hormone (hGH) is another naturally occurring hormone that is made in the pituitary gland and plays a major role in stimulating growth in children and increasing muscle mass in adults. From: Encyclopedia of Mental Health (Third Edition), 2023 ...
Growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), a large peptide hormone that exists in several forms that differ from one another only in the number of amino acids, which can vary from 37 to 44. Unlike other neurohormones (substances produced by specialized cel
Antagonists of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) inhibit the growth of various tumors, including endometrial carcinomas (EC). However, tumoral receptors that mediate the antiproliferative effects of GHRH antagonists in human ECs have not been fully characterized. In this study, we investigated th...
human growth hormone n.Abbr.HGHorhGH 1.A growth hormone released by the human pituitary gland. 2.A synthetic form of this hormone produced by recombinant DNA technology, used to treat a deficiency of growth hormone and certain other medical conditions. It is often used illegally, especially to...
This hormone was shown to stimulate the release of GH and was thus named ‘ghrelin’, after ghre, which is the Proto-Indo-European root of the word ‘grow’. The discovery of ghrelin is therefore an example of ‘reverse pharmacology’, meaning that the synthesis of artificial compo...
