Human growth hormone (hGH) is secreted in a pulsatile fashion, generally following a
circadian rhythm. A number of physiological stimuli can initiate hGH secretion, the most …

Historically, various systems have been studied for their potential role in the
pathophysiology of fibromyalgia. Currently, although perhaps for some patients inflammation …

Continuing in the tradition of the first edition, Whitbourneís identity process model serves to
integrate the physiological with a psychological perspective. The effects of physical changes …

Growth hormone (GH) counteracts insulin action on lipid and glucose metabolism. However,
the sequence of molecular events leading to these changes is poorly understood. Insulin …

Objective: To conduct a metaanalysis of human studies examining the efficacy and safety of
recombinant human GH (rhGH) as therapy for obesity in adults. Design: A thorough search …

We report here a very efficient method for the in vivo transfer of therapeutic plasmid DNA into
porcine muscle fibers by using electric pulses of low field intensity. We evaluated delivery of …

It has been suggested that obese individuals have a blunted growth hormone (GH)
response to spontaneous and stimulated GH secretion. The present study was designed to …

Over the last few decades, there has been an unprecedented increase in the prevalence of
obesity, especially in economically developed countries. Furthermore, it is becoming an …

Age-related changes in body composition and serum lipids resemble symptoms of adult-
onset growth hormone (GH) deficiency. GH treatment has been shown to normalize these …

Regulated animal growth occurred following a single electroporated injection of a mixture of
two plasmids (10 μg of DNA), one expressing the GeneSwitch™ regulator protein, the other …
