Regulation of the GH Axis: Somatostatin and GHRH

Glucocorticoids modulate the secretion of growth hormone (GH) by various and competing
effects on the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. The final effects of this modulation depend …

Ghrelin, the endogenous ligand of the GH secretagogue receptor, acts at central level to
elicit GH release and regulate food intake. To elucidate the neural circuit that exerts its …

Once thought to be present only in liver, muscle and adipose tissue, the GH receptor is now
known to be ubiquitously distributed, in accord with the many pleiotropic actions of GH …

Pregnancy and lactation provide excellent models of physiological hyperphagia and hyper‐
prolactinemia. To identify possible factors associated with the increased feeding in these …

A secreção de hormônio de crescimento (growth hormone, GH) é modulada por uma
interação complexa entre dois fatores hipotalâmicos: o hormônio liberador do GH (GH …

The neural, the endocrine, and the immune systems are studied as distinct districts in
physiological and pathological settings. However, these systems must be investigated with …

Aging is associated with a decrease in GH levels and this is paralleled by changes in body
composition, ie, increased visceral fat, and decreased lean body mass and bone mineral …

To determine whether the severity of the catabolic condition differentially regulates the GH
axis, male mice were either fed ad libitum or fasted for 12, 24, and 48 h. Hypothalami …

Leptin is a hormone secreted by the adipocytes that regulates food intake and energy
expenditure. It is known that growth hormone (GH) secretion is markedly influenced by body …
