[Effect of mestranol and chlormadinone acetate on HGH secretion in Turner's syndrome]. 1985

K Rudolf, and S Kunkel, and K P Woltanski

In 19 patients aged from 12 to 24 years (average age 17.0 years) with Turner's syndrome the influence of the hormonal substitution with mestranol and chlormadinone acetate on both basal and arginine stimulated HGH secretion was investigated. This test was performed before, during and after treatment. HGH serum levels were determined by RIA. Both the basal values and the increase of HGH secretion after arginine stimulation were used for evaluation of the test results. Under estrogen-gestagen treatment in 15 of the 19 patients hypersomatotropic basal levels were determined. The basal HGH levels before and during as well as during and after treatment are significant different (p less than 0,01). The responsibility of the somatotrophs to the arginine stimulation was individually different and did not show any uniform trend.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008656 Mestranol The 3-methyl ether of ETHINYL ESTRADIOL. It must be demethylated to be biologically active. It is used as the estrogen component of many combination ORAL CONTRACEPTIVES. 19-Norpregna-1,3,5(10)-trien-20-yn-17-ol, 3-methoxy-, (17alpha)-,Ethinyl Estradiol 3-Methyl Ether,Ethinyl Estradiol 3 Methyl Ether
D010906 Pituitary Hormone-Releasing Hormones Peptides, natural or synthetic, that stimulate the release of PITUITARY HORMONES. They were first isolated from the extracts of the HYPOTHALAMUS; MEDIAN EMINENCE; PITUITARY STALK; and NEUROHYPOPHYSIS. In addition, some hypophysiotropic hormones control pituitary cell differentiation, cell proliferation, and hormone synthesis. Some can act on more than one pituitary hormone.

D006063 Chorionic Gonadotropin A gonadotropic glycoprotein hormone produced primarily by the PLACENTA. Similar to the pituitary LUTEINIZING HORMONE in structure and function, chorionic gonadotropin is involved in maintaining the CORPUS LUTEUM during pregnancy. CG consists of two noncovalently linked subunits, alpha and beta. Within a species, the alpha subunit is virtually identical to the alpha subunits of the three pituitary glycoprotein hormones (TSH, LH, and FSH), but the beta subunit is unique and confers its biological specificity (CHORIONIC GONADOTROPIN, BETA SUBUNIT, HUMAN).
