Short-term effects:On a 24-h basis GH normalizes resting energy expenditure (EE). This is associated with a lowering of protein EE from a supranormal level. Lipid oxidation is increased from a subnormal state. GH also acts to decrease both oxidative glucose disposal and overall insulin sensiti...
In the 1950s, growth hormone isolated from the pituitaries of humans and anthropoid apes was discovered to stimulate growth in children who had growth hormone deficiency. In the United States, human-derived growth hormone was produced and distributed by the National Institute of Health's (NIH’s)...
Many European paintings, particularly those of the Spanish Court, portray people with extremely short stature who may have had growth hormone deficiency (GHD). During the 1800s, General Tom Thumb and his wife, Lavinia Warren, exploited their short statur
To discuss the approach to patients diagnosed with growth hormone deficiency (GHD) in childhood during the transition period from puberty to adulthood, focusing on the following: (1) physiology; (2) effects of recombinant human GH (rhGH) interruption/reinstitution after adult height achievement; (...
ItalyGrowth hormone deficiency (GHD) is a rare condition with a worldwide prevalence of 1 patient in 4000 to 10,000 live births, placing a significant economic burden on healthcare systems. The aim of this study is to generate evidence on the economic burden of children and adolescents with ...
