The ovary is responsible for the synthesis of hormones, including estrogen and progesterone. The testes produce the hormone testosterone, which is required for sperm formation during spermatogenesis and secondary sexual characteristics. Testosterone promotes the production of functional sperm, maintains the ...

Agammaglobulinaemia A term for deficiencies of immunoglobulins that electrophoretically migrate into the γ-fraction. Laron syndrome A growth disorder due to an in...

66 Growth hormone’s effects on the immune system may play a role. At very high levels, growth hormone binds in significant quantities to the prolactin receptor. Both of these hormones, at 10 to 20 times physiologic levels, may mediate immunosuppressive effects in vitro.5,6 At more moderate ...
It was later discovered that the pulsatile nature of growth hormone release is regulated by two hypothalamic hormones: (1) growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) which stimulates the release of growth hormone (Rivier et al., 1982; Ling et al., 1984), and (2) somatostatin, which inhibits ...
