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 …

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 lipolytic effects of growth hormone (GH) have been known for half a century and play an
important physiological role for substrate metabolism during fasting. In addition, sustained …

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 …

Stimulation of lipolysis and the induction of resistance to insulin's actions on glucose
metabolism are well-recognized effects of growth hormone (GH). To evaluate whether these …

Context: GH induces insulin resistance in muscle and fat, and in vitro data indicate that this
may involve cross-talk between the signaling pathways of the two hormones. Objective: Our …

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 evolutionary terms, GH and intracellular STAT 5 signaling is a very old regulatory system.
Whereas insulin dominates periprandially, GH may be viewed as the primary anabolic …

Increasing prevalence of obesity and obesity-related conditions worldwide has necessitated
a more thorough understanding of adipose tissue (AT) and expanded the scope of research …

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 …
