Growth hormone receptor isoforms and fracture risk in adult-onset growth hormone-deficient patients.

abstract：:Raised activity of the LH axis caused by activating mutations of LH receptor gene presents with precocious puberty in boys, analogous to the presentation of LH secreting pituitary adenomas (Faggiano et al., 1983; Ambrosi et al., 1990). LH "hyperactivity' in females appears to have no effect. Hyperactivity of the FSH a...

Physiologically, IGF-I exerts a negative feedback on GH secretion at both the hypothalamic and the pituitary levels. We have previously shown that the 943 an...
