The ability of growth hormone (GH) to induce adipose tissue lipolysis has been known for
over five decades; however, the molecular mechanisms that mediate this effect and the …

The last two decades have seen resurgence in research focused on adipose tissue. In part,
the enhanced interest stems from an alarming increase in obesity rates worldwide. However …

Growth hormone (GH) is a pleiotropic hormone that coordinates an array of physiological
processes, including effects on bone, muscle, and fat, ultimately resulting in growth …

Growth hormone (GH) has diverse and still not fully elucidated effects on adipose tissue.
Both preadipocytes and mature adipocytes possess specific GH receptors. GH may mediate …

Obesity is an excessive accumulation or expansion of adipose tissue (AT) due to an
increase in either the size and/or number of its characteristic cell type, the adipocyte. As one …

Growth hormone (GH), a master regulator of somatic growth, also regulates carbohydrate
and lipid metabolism via complex interactions with insulin and insulin-like growth factor-1 …

In obesity, growth hormone (GH) secretion is impaired which is considered a consequence
rather than a cause of obesity. GH regulates the expression of GH receptor and the …

There is a general consensus that a reduction in growth hormone (GH) secretion results in
obesity. However, the pathophysiologic role of GH in the metabolism of lipids is yet to be …

Growth hormone secretagogues (GHSs) stimulate growth hormone (GH) secretion, which is
lipolytic. Here we compared the effects of twice daily sc treatment of GH and the GHS …

This review will summarize the metabolic effects of growth hormone (GH) on the adipose
tissue, liver, and skeletal muscle with focus on lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. The …
