Fears raised over link between human growth hormone and CJD
Further cases of Creutzfeldt-Jakob (CJD) disease could arise as a result of human growth hormone treatment, even after low doses, suggests research in the Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery and Psychiatry. view more (2002-05-20)
Study shows new method of growth hormone dosing improves height
A randomized UCLA study found that a new dosing paradigm can improve height outcomes in the treatment of children who have short stature due to growth hormone deficiency and idiopathic short stature. view more (2005-06-07)
Predicting growth hormone treatment success
Growth hormone treatments work better on some children than on others, but judging which candidates will gain those vital inches in height is no simple task. view more (2007-12-13)
UK Study Suggests Possible Link Between Colorectal Cancer And Human Growth Hormone Therapy (p 273)
Authors of an observational study in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlight a possible link between human growth hormone therapy and an increased risk of colorectal cancer. The investigators comment that further evidence is required before firm conclusions can be made, and stress that there is no evidence from their study as to whether there is... view more...

NEW TEST FOR DOPING IN RACEHORSES
Scientists from Britain, Australia and South Africa have collaborated to develop a new test for drug abuse in racehorses. Use of growth hormone doping is worrying both horse racing and athletics authorities. Now new work, presented at the British Endocrine Societies annual meeting in Birmingham, may prevent cheating in horse racing, as well as... view more... (2000-03-07)
Growth hormone to boost athletic performance risks diabetes
Use of growth hormone to boost athletic performance can lead to diabetes, reports a study published ahead of print in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. view more (2007-02-26)
Growth hormone is made in the brain, report scientists
Scientists have found that growth hormone, a substance that is used for body growth, is produced in the brain, according to an article published in this week's Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. view more (2006-03-28)
Growth hormone's link to starvation may be clue to increasing life span, researchers find
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have determined that starvation blocks the effects of growth hormone via a mechanism that may have implications in treating diabetes and extending life span. view more (2008-06-30)
Exercise boosts sex hormone in older men
Older men who take regular and intensive exercise produce more growth hormone and testosterone, the male sex hormone, than those who lead an inactive life, according to researchers at the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Men aged 55-65 who ran more than 40 miles a week were found to have higher levels of both hormones in their bodies compared to... view more... (2000-05-30)
Growth hormone treatment after weight loss surgery prevents loss of muscle mass
Growth hormone treatment for six months after weight loss surgery reduces patients' losses in lean body mass and skeletal muscle mass, according to a new study accepted for publication in The Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM). view more (2009-02-03)
Hormone therapy helps short children grow up
Growth hormone treatment may significantly increase final height in children diagnosed with short stature, even in cases where the child is not growth hormone deficient, according to a new study accepted for publication in The Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM). view more (2008-11-06)
Scientists find potential protein biomarkers for growth hormone
Ohio University scientists have identified several proteins in mice that might act as biomarkers for growth hormone. The research could be the first step to finding a more reliable way to detect recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH), which some athletes and teenagers use illegally to boost muscle and reduce fat. view more (2008-06-18)
Growth hormone reduces abdominal fat, cardiovascular risk in HIV patients on antiviral therapy
Low-dose growth hormone treatment reduced abdominal fat deposits and improved blood pressure and triglyceride levels in a group of patients with HIV lipodystrophy, a condition involving the redistribution of fat and other metabolic changes in patients receiving combination drug therapy for HIV infection. view more (2008-08-04)
An Anti-Frailty Pill for Seniors?
Researchers at the University of Virginia Health System report that a daily single oral dose of an investigational drug, MK-677, increased muscle mass in the arms and legs of healthy older adults without serious side effects, suggesting that it may prove safe and effective in reducing age-related frailty. view more (2008-11-05)
Hormone therapy may confer more aggressive properties to prostate tumours
Hormone therapy is often given to patients with advanced prostate cancer. view more (2009-06-11)
Growth factor signals influence balance between normal growth and cancerous growth
New research from The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine deepens the understanding of how the growth hormone/IGF system is affected by another important actor: p53, the tumor suppressor gene that puts the brakes on cancer. view more (2006-11-10)
Society for Endocrinology and Royal College of Physicians response to NICE Appeal Panel decision on adult growth hormone replacement
The Society for Endocrinology and the Royal College of Physicians (RCP) welcome today's decision of the NICE Appeal Panel to refer the subject of adult growth hormone replacement back to the Appraisal Committee (see NICE website: for full details). The Society and the RCP believe that the Institute has... view more... (2002-10-25)
The 'green revolution gene' goes to the root of how plants control their growth.
Scientists at the John Innes Centre (JIC) Norwich(1), have discovered how plants coordinate and control their development by using a master signal to regulate the growth of cells throughout the plant. The signal, a plant hormone called auxin, affects the ability of cells to respond to another hormone (gibberellin(2)) that 'switches on' cell... view more... (2003-02-11)
Hormone's role in insects could give insight for cancer treatment, malnutrition
Starvation typically has dire consequences for an organism's growth. In the tobacco hawkmoth, tissues starved during the last stage of larval development stop growing because they lack the proper nutrients. view more (2006-06-02)
Parasite growth hormone pushes human cells to liver cancer
Scientists have found that the human liver fluke (Opisthorchis viverrini) contributes to the development of bile duct (liver) cancer by secreting granulin, a growth hormone that is known to cause uncontrolled growth of cells. view more (2009-10-09)
