Journal ArticleDOI
Serum apolipoprotein(a) correlates with growth hormone levels in Chinese patients with acromegaly
TL;DR: The findings suggest that apo(a) may constitute another cardiovascular risk factor in untreated acromegaly and that GH may be involved in the regulation of circulating apo (a) concentration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Induction of spermatogenesis with gonadotrophins in Chinese men with hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism.
TL;DR: The effects of gonadotrophin administration to 17 Chinese patients with hypog on testicular volume and induction of spermatogenesis were studied and prepubertal onset of hypogonadism was not a determining factor for requirement of human menopausal gonadOTrophin (hMG) treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long term pulsatile growth hormone (GH)-releasing hormone therapy in children with GH deficiency
TL;DR: Low dose pulsatile GHRH therapy was effective in promoting growth in five of seven children, with height gain ranging from 4.4-7.5 cm at the end of 1 yr's therapy, and the mean cumulative growth velocity increased from a pretreatment mean of 2.7 +/- 0.2 (+/- SE) to 8.4 +/- 2.4 cm/yr after 2 months and 1 yr of treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of heroin addiction on thyrotrophin, thyroid hormones and prolactin secretion in men
TL;DR: Gradual recovery of pituitary‐thyroid function occurred after heroin withdrawal, and the thyrotrophin‐releasing hormone elicited a diminished thyrotophin response in heroin addicts which was significantly different from that in control subjects and ex‐addicts.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of humanin and its analogues on male germ cell apoptosis induced by chemotherapeutic drugs
TL;DR: HN decreases DOX (ex vivo) and CP (in vivo) induced male germ cell apoptosis; action is mediated by the membrane receptor/STAT3 with minor contribution by BAX-binding pathway; self-dimerization or binding to IGFBP-3 may not be involved in HN’s effect in testis.
