Plasma-immunoreactive...

...C. Farmer; P. Gaudreau The present study was conducted to establish whether growth hormone (GH) releasing factor (GRF) is present in porcine placenta. Various concentrations of placental extracts from sows at 90 and 110 days of gestation were added to porcine anterior pituitary cells in culture...

...Anastasia Varvarigou; Apostolos G. Vagenakis; Maria Makri; Constantinos Frimas; Nicholas G. Beratis To assess the pituitary response to perinatal asphyxia, the prolactin (PRL) and growth hormone (hGH) serum concentrations were measured in 55 asphyctic (15 preterm and 40 full-term) and 35 control...

... (placental leucine aminopeptidase; EC3.4.11.3) by measuring the released amino acids by high-performance liquid chromatography. We also studied the degradation of other brain-gut hormones, such as glucagon, growth hormone, growth hormone releasing factor, and insulin, in the human placenta and found...

...A. Labbé; B. Delcros; P. Déchelotte; C. Nouailles; G. Grizard The specific binding capacities for human prolactin (hPRL) and human growth hormone (hGH) were examined in human lung membrane preparations at different developmental stages. A parallel study was carried out on rabbit lung preparations...

...G.M. Robinson; G.S.G. Spencer; C.J. Berry; P.M. Dobbie; S. Hodgkinson; J.J. Bass Neonatal rats were injected with antiserum raised against either insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I IGF-II, rat growth hormone (rGH) or somatostatin (SRIF) on each of days 2-5 of life: controls received normal sheep...

...Anastasia Varvarigou; Apostolos G. Vagenakis; Maria Makri; Nicholas G. Beratis Growth hormone (hGH), insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and prolactin (PRL) were measured in the cord and venous blood of small for gestational age (SGA) neonates in order to evaluate their endocrine status during...

...G.S.G. Spencer; G.M. Robinson; C.J. Berry; P.M. Dobbie To study the effects of exogenous growth hormone (GH) administration to the mother on fetal growth, dwarf rats with an isolated GH deficiency were given daily s.c. injections of GH throughout pregnancy. Fetuses were heavier in GH-treated...

...Roberto Lanes; Carlos Nieto; Carlos Bruguera; Gustavo Moncada; Luis A. Moret; Fima Lifshitz The growth hormone response to a single intravenous dose of human growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) was examined in 23 healthy neonates (12 term and 11 preterm) aged 2–4 days. There were no significant...

...F. de Zegher; J. Kimpen; J. Raus; M. Vanderschueren-Lodeweyckx Growth hormone (GH) concentrations were measured in cord serum of small (< 2.4 kg), appropriate (3.4 ± 0.1 kg) and large (> 4.4 kg) infants born at term (38–42 weeks), and in cord serum of prematurely born twins (28–36 weeks...

... and differentiation of transplants in Db and Hx hosts were delayed or inhibited. This inhibition occurred as early as day 3 after transplantation and was corrected by appropriate hormone replacement therapy of the hosts. We conclude that rat embryos/fetuses develop a dependence on a growth hormone-dependent factor...

... histologically normal, while those in HX hosts failed to develop villi and discrete smooth muscle layers. Normal growth and differentiation in HX and diabetic hosts were completely restored by administration of growth hormone (GH) or insulin, respectively. Our data indicate that both GH and insulin are necessary...

...Vladimir Štrbák; Robert Angyal; Jana Jurčovičová; Anna Randušková The role of endogenous thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) in the control of pituitary thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and growth hormone (GH) secrection was studied during postnatal maturation in female Wistar rats. Half...

...Satoshi Shimano; Shigeyoshi Suzuki; Kanji Nagashima; Hideki Yagi; Masao Sakaguchi; Takayoshi Kuroume The response of growth hormone (GH) to synthetic human growth hormone releasing factor (hGRF) administered intravenously was examined in 32 neonates aged 3–28 days. GH peaked at 30 min after hGRF...

... prenatally and a further increase on day 10 postnatally. Pituitary α-MSH content, readily detectable on the first day examined, i.e. day 16 of the fetal period, increased throughout development. The effect of α-MSH on the release of growth hormone in vitro from pituitaries of rats of various ages was tested...

... of ovine growth hormone to the culture medium resulted in a significantly lower rate of fatty acid synthesis. The results are compared with changes in the rate of fatty acid synthesis in vivo in neonatal lambs and the probable roles of insulin and growth hormone in the regulation of fatty acid synthesis...

...M. Fekete; D.J. Hill; R.D.G. Milner Plasma somatomedin activity, cartilage metabolism and the levels of insulin and growth hormone were studied during relative neonatal malnutrition in the rat, produced by the small and large litter method.
