Abstract Auernhammer CJ, Strasburger CJ. Effects of growth hormone and insulin-like
growth factor I on the immune system. Eur J Endocrinol 1995; 133: 635–45. ISSN 0804 …

Growth hormone (GH), directly or through GH-induction of insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1,
has been implicated in lymphocyte development and function. Recent studies have …

A growing body of evidence indicates a bi-directional relationship between the
neuroendocrine system and immune functions. It is well known that lymphoid organs such …

Publisher Summary This chapter examines whether pituitary hormones prolactin (PRL),
growth hormone (GH), and insulin-like growth factors (IGF)-I are indeed full-fledged …

Immune and neuroendocrine systems have bidirectional communications. Growth hormone
(GH) and an orexigenic hormone ghrelin are expressed in various immune cells such as T …

Growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) can modulate the development
and function of the immune system. In this chapter, we present data on the expression of …

We show that treatment of adult mice with recombinant human insulin-like growth factor 1
(rhIGF-1) induces striking modifications in lymphocyte number and function. 9-mo-old male …

In addition to its activity as a metabolic hormone and a regulator of somatic growth, insulin-
like growth factor-I (IGF-I) has cytokine-like activities on lymphoid cells. A 14-day infusion of …

The pituitary secretory p'oteins growth hormone (GH) and prolactin (PRL) do not, as yet,
have major r~! es in haematology or immunology. Recent evidence indicates that these …
