Opis

In a state-of-the-art synthesis of basic science and clinical practice, Roy Smith and a distinguished panel of researchers and clinicians review GH regulation and its action at the molecular level, and describe the basis for GH deficiency and the use of GH as therapy in a variety of clinical situations. The clinical presentation moves beyond the treatment of GH-deficient children to include the genetics of GH-deficiency, GH-deficiency in adults, osteoporosis, Syndrome X, sleep quality, GH in AIDS patients, GHRH in clinical studies. Timely and innovative, Human Growth Hormone: Research and Clinical Practice will benefit both basic and clinical researchers, as well as those clinical endocrinologists who want to use growth hormone not only in treating children, but also in treating adult disorders, including those associated with metabolic disease.In Human Growth Hormone: Research and Clinical Ptractice, Roy Smith and a distinguished panel of researchers and clinicians combine a review of GH regulation and its action at the molecular level with a state-of-the-art description of the basis for GH deficiency and the use of GH therapy in a variety of clinical situations. The clinical uses of GH discussed here move beyond the treatment of GH-deficient children to include the genetics of GH-deficiency, GH-deficiency in adults, osteoporosis, Syndrome X, sleep quality, GH in AIDS patients, and GHRH in clinical studies. Also described are a family of GH-secretagogues that bind to a new orphan receptor controlling the physiology of GH release. The discussion of the new GH therapeutics includes their design, their action as regulators in the pituitary gland and in the central nervous system, and their use as new agents for treating growth hormone deficiency states. §Human Growth Hormone: Research and Clinical Practice offers an unprecedented cutting-edge synthesis of basic science and clinical practice. Timely and innovative, this book will benefit both basic and clinical researchers, as well as those clinical endocrinologists who want to use growth hormone not only in treating children, but also in treating adult disorders, including those associated with metabolic disease.
