[Somatotropic function of the hypophysis in endocrine diseases]. 1977

V N Slavnov, and E V Epshteĭn, and E V Luchitskiĭ, and V D Malinkovich, and V V Markov

A study was made of 149 patients with various endocrine diseases, and 30 healthy persons. Despite the sharply increased initial level of growth hormone, somatotropic function of the adenohypophysis was considerably depressed. In patients with hypophysial, cerebral, and somatogenic nanism somatotropic function of the hypophysis proved to be lowered. In diabetes mellitus of moderate severity without any vascular affections with the normal initial blood somatotropin level reaction to insulin hypoglycemia was sharply diminished. Persons suffering from prediabetes displayed a tendency to the change of the somatotropic function of the hypophysis. With increasing adiposity there is a reduction of the initial level of blood growth hormone and of the somatotropic activity of the hypophysis in Itsenko-Cushing's disease and thyrotoxicosis was apparently connected with disturbances of the hypothalamo-hypophysial interrelations.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation.

D005951 Glucose Tolerance Test A test to determine the ability of an individual to maintain HOMEOSTASIS of BLOOD GLUCOSE. It includes measuring blood glucose levels in a fasting state, and at prescribed intervals before and after oral glucose intake (75 or 100 g) or intravenous infusion (0.5 g/kg).

D013006 Growth Hormone A polypeptide that is secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). Growth hormone, also known as somatotropin, stimulates mitosis, cell differentiation and cell growth. Species-specific growth hormones have been synthesized.
