Researchers uncover how prostate cancer cells defy death
New findings about how prostate cancer cells are able to resist hormone treatment and defy death may lead to more effective drug treatments. view more (2006-07-31)
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)
Postmenopausal hormone therapy appears to increase risk of blood clots in veins
Estrogen therapy may increase the risk of venous thrombosis, the formation of blood clots in the veins, among postmenopausal women who have had their uterus removed. view more (2006-04-11)
PSA predicts treatment success in advanced prostate cancer
A test used to detect prostate cancer can also help doctors know when treatment is working. view more (2006-08-24)
Estrogen therapy does not appear to protect postmenopausal women from heart disease
Estrogen therapy does not appear to reduce the risk of heart attack or coronary death in healthy postmenopausal women, although some data suggest a lower coronary heart disease risk in women aged 50 to 59 years. view more (2006-02-14)

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)
Androgen deprivation therapy does not keep localized prostate cancer from spreading, new study says
Oregon Health & Science University Cancer Institute researchers wanted to know if depriving men of testosterone actually keeps cancer from spreading beyond the prostate. view more (2006-02-27)
Thale cress goes on the defensive
Thale cress has a complicated defence technique against insects and microorganisms that use the plant as a source of food. view more (2007-05-15)
Dartmouth researchers show effects of low dose arsenic on development
A team of Dartmouth Medical School (DMS) researchers has determined that low doses of arsenic disrupt the activity of a hormone critical in development. view more (2007-11-15)
Thyroid hormone, brain development, and behavior
Dr. Bjorn Vennstrom and colleagues in Spain and at the Karolinska Institute (Sweden) have identified novel neural functions of thyroid hormone (TH), revealing that it is required during discrete periods of brain development to confer "normal" behavior. view more (2005-08-30)
Henry Ford Hospital expands research on gene and radiation therapy for prostate cancer
Henry Ford Hospital is embarking on an expanded major clinical trial involving the use of gene therapy in combination with radiation therapy, to determine if the combined treatment is more effective than radiation therapy alone for patients with intermediate risk prostate cancer. view more (2008-02-07)
No link between short-term testosterone use and prostate cancer, study says
Testosterone therapy does not cause adverse effects on the prostate in older men with hypogonadism, commonly known as low testosterone or low T, according to a clinical trial presented today at a national urology meeting in Atlanta. view more (2006-05-22)
Anti-tumor effects are enhanced by inhibiting 2 pathways rather than 1
Two independent research groups have found that simultaneous inhibition of two signaling pathways resulted in substantially enhanced antitumor effects in mouse models of prostate and breast cancer. In an accompany commentary, Steven Grant, at Virginia Commonwealth University Health Science Center, Richmond, discusses the clinical importance of... view more... (2008-08-22)
Natural hormone offers hope for treatment of the metabolic syndrome
Angiotensin 1-7, a hormone in the body that has cardiovascular benefits, improves the metabolic syndrome in rats, according to a new study. The results will be presented Wednesday at The Endocrine Society's 91st Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C. view more (2009-06-10)
Low blood levels of vitamin D may be associated with depression in older adults
Older adults with low blood levels of vitamin D and high blood levels of a hormone secreted by the parathyroid glands may have a higher risk of depression, according to a report in the May issue of Archives of General Psychiatry, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2008-05-06)
Scientists find hormone activity explains adolescent mood swings
The "raging hormones" of puberty are known to produce mood swings and stress for most teenagers, making it difficult to cope with this period of life. Until now, the specific causes of pubertal anxiety have not been identified, making it harder to understand and treat adolescent angst. view more (2007-03-12)
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)
Further Evidence That Hrt Does Not Protect Against Cardiovascular Disease (p 2001)
Results of a UK randomised trial published in this week's issue of THE LANCET provides further evidence that hormone replacement therapy (HRT) does not offer women protection against cardiovascular disease. Previous observational studies have suggested that HRT could reduce the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), but results of randomised trials... view more... (2002-12-18)
Growth hormone is not the anti-aging bullet for healthy adults
A review of published data on use of human growth hormone (GH) by healthy elderly people found that the synthetic hormone was associated with small changes in body composition but not in body weight or other clinically important outcomes. view more (2007-01-16)
