6. The growth hormone receptor and growth hormone sensitivity in man
Sammanfattning : It is well established that the response to endogenous and exogenous growth hormone (GH) varies between individuals. For example, conditions with increased catabolic rate, such as trauma, sepsis and surgery, are believed to be associated with acquired GH insensitivity. LÄS MER
7. Growth Hormone and Anabolic Androgenic Steroids : Effects on Neurochemistry and Cognition
Sammanfattning : Growth hormone (GH) stimulates growth and metabolism but also displays profound effects on the central nervous system (CNS). GH affects neurogenesis and neuroprotection, and has been shown to counteract drug-induced apoptosis in the brain. LÄS MER
8. Prolactin and growth hormone in breast cancer. Studies of human breast cancer and transgenic tumor models
Sammanfattning : Prolactin (PRL) and growth hormone (GH) are two related pituitary peptide hormones of importance during normal mammary gland development. Furthermore, their involvement in development and growth of malignant mammary tumors has been suggested by several investigators. LÄS MER
9. Growth hormone and the heart in children
Sammanfattning : Background and Aims: The fact that growth hormone (GH) influences cardiovascular structure and function is well established through both human and animal studies. Despite being secreted in a pulsatile fashion, only the impact of peak GH concentrations on cardiac parameters has previously been reported, and the time-dependency of cardiovascular effects during GH treatment has not been detailed.

10. Cardiovascular effects of growth hormone. Studies in genetically engineered mice
Sammanfattning : The general aim of this thesis was to enhance the understanding on the relationships between growth hormone (GH) and cardiovascular disease using genetically engineered mice. More specifically the effects of GH on blood pressure (BP), vascular and cardiac function, atherosclerosis and autonomic control of heart rate were studied. LÄS MER
