[Effect of human somatotropin on metabolism in hypothalamo-hypophyseal nanism patients]. 1986

Iu K Danis, and D G Lashene, and L V Lashas

The effect of pharmacopoeic human somatotropin (HS) produced by the Kaunas plant of endocrine preparations, on the proteic, lipid, carbohydrate and mineral metabolism was studied in 40 patients with hypothalamohypophyseal nanism (HHN). The experiments were performed before treatment on an empty stomach, 4 hs after HS administration in a dose of 4 I. U. and during the course of treatment (with 1-2 or 3-4 monthly intervals). The HS administration resulted in the increase of urea, phosphorus and alkaline phosphatase levels, decreased those of beta-lipoproteins, potassium and sodium and caused the redistribution of proteic fractions in the blood of HHN patients. Simultaneous reduction of the urea, creatinine and phosphoric excretion in lime with enhanced urinary excretion of potassium was observed. During a long-term intermittent HS therapy no changes were revealed in carbohydrate metabolism in HHN patients.

D004393	Dwarfism, Pituitary	A form of dwarfism caused by complete or partial GROWTH HORMONE deficiency, resulting from either the lack of GROWTH HORMONE-RELEASING FACTOR from the HYPOTHALAMUS or from the mutations in the growth hormone gene (GH1) in the PITUITARY GLAND. It is also known as Type I pituitary dwarfism. Human hypophysial dwarf is caused by a deficiency of HUMAN GROWTH HORMONE during development.
