PMID: 25117570
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is known to be associated with insulin resistance, atherosclerosis, and low serum IGF1 levels. We have described a large cohort of patients with isolated GH...

Arq Bras Endocrinol Metabol
. 2014 Apr;
58(1):23-9.
PMID: 24728160
Objectives: GH therapy is still controversial, except in severe GH deficiency (SGHD). The objective of this study was to compare the response to growth hormone (GH) therapy in children with...

Souza A, Farias M, Salvatori R, Silva G, Santana J, Pereira F, et al.
Endocrine
. 2013 Nov;
47(1):191-7.
PMID: 24272598
The GH/IGF-I axis has essential roles in regulating bone and vascular status. The age-related decrease in GH secretion ("somatopause") may contribute to osteoporosis and atherosclerosis, commonly observed in the elderly....

Epitacio-Pereira C, Silva G, Salvatori R, Santana J, Pereira F, Gois-Junior M, et al.
J Clin Endocrinol Metab
. 2013 Sep;
98(11):E1710-5.
PMID: 24057284
Context: The GH/IGF-I axis is important for bone growth, but its effects on joint function are not completely understood. Adult-onset GH-deficient individuals have often reduced bone mineral density (BMD). However,...

Vicente T, Rocha I, Salvatori R, Oliveira C, Pereira R, Souza A, et al.
Endocr Connect
. 2013 Jun;
2(2):112-7.
PMID: 23795286
Objectives: Adult subjects with untreated, lifetime, isolated GH deficiency (IGHD) due to a homozygous GHRH receptor gene mutation (MUT/MUT) residing in Itabaianinha, Brazil, present with lower BMI, higher prevalence of...

Endocrine
. 2013 Feb;
44(1):207-11.
PMID: 23397510
Growth hormone (GH) and prolactin share similarities in structure and function. We have previously shown that women with congenital isolated GH deficiency (IGHD) caused by a homozygous mutation in the...

PMID: 22416078
Objective: GH replacement therapy (GHRT) in adult-onset GH deficiency (AOGHD) reduces carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and increases myocardial mass, with improvement of systolic and diastolic function. These observations have reinforced...

J Clin Endocrinol Metab
. 2011 Dec;
97(3):1013-9.
PMID: 22170707
Context: GH reduces insulin sensitivity (IS), whereas IGF-I increases it. IGF-I seems to be critical for the development of the β-cells, and impaired IS has been reported in GH deficiency...
