The use of peptide analogs for the treatment of gastrointestinal, pancreatic, liver and urinary bladder cancers.

Hormone molecular biology and clinical investigation

Szepeshazi K, Block NL, Schally AV.
PMID: 25961976
Horm Mol Biol Clin Investig. 2010 Jan 01;1(3):103-10. doi: 10.1515/HMBCI.2010.018.

Peptide hormones can influence the development and growth of many cancers which are not considered classical hormone-dependent tumors. Analogs of somatostatin, bombesin/gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP), luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH) and growth hormone-releasing hormone (GH-RH) can interfere with receptors on tumor...

Neural growth hormone: regional regulation by estradiol and/or sex chromosome complement in male and female mice.

Biology of sex differences

Quinnies KM, Bonthuis PJ, Harris EP, Shetty SR, Rissman EF.
PMID: 25987976
Biol Sex Differ. 2015 Apr 28;6:8. doi: 10.1186/s13293-015-0026-x. eCollection 2015.

BACKGROUND: Sex differences in pituitary growth hormone (GH) are well documented and coordinate maturation and growth. GH and its receptor are also produced in the brain where they may impact cognitive function and synaptic plasticity, and estradiol produces Gh...

Peptide hormones: Review of current and emerging uses by nasal delivery.

Advanced drug delivery reviews

Pontiroli AE.
PMID: 10837581
Adv Drug Deliv Rev. 1998 Jan 05;29(1):81-87. doi: 10.1016/s0169-409x(97)00062-8.

The family of clinically available peptide hormones (PHs) is expanding in an exponential way, and advancement of knowledge of the basic mechanisms of action of PHs has led to multiplication of the possible clinical indications of already known PHs,...

Sermorelin: a review of its use in the diagnosis and treatment of children with idiopathic growth hormone deficiency.

BioDrugs : clinical immunotherapeutics, biopharmaceuticals and gene therapy

Prakash A, Goa KL.
PMID: 18031173
BioDrugs. 1999 Aug;12(2):139-57. doi: 10.2165/00063030-199912020-00007.

UNLABELLED: Sermorelin, a 29 amino acid analogue of human growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), is the shortest synthetic peptide with full biological activity of GHRH. Intravenous and subcutaneous sermorelin specifically stimulate growth hormone secretion from the anterior pituitary. Hormone responses...

Small molecule mimetics of GHRP-6.

Expert opinion on investigational drugs

DeVita RJ.
PMID: 15989584
Expert Opin Investig Drugs. 1997 Dec;6(12):1839-43. doi: 10.1517/13543784.6.12.1839.

In 1981, Bowers reported that xenobiotic peptides, derived from the Leu- and Met- enkephalins, demonstrated novel growth hormone (GH) secretory activity. The most potent peptide reported, GH releasing peptide-6 (GHRP-6), was shown to release GH by a different pathway...

Stimulation of Alpha-Adrenoceptors Facilitates the Release of Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone from Rat Hypothalamus in vitro.

Journal of neuroendocrinology

Tsagarakis S, Ge F, Rees LH, Besser GM, Grossman A.
PMID: 19210470
J Neuroendocrinol. 1989 Apr 01;1(2):129-33. doi: 10.1111/j.1365-2826.1989.tb00091.x.

Abstract While extensive evidence suggests that adrenoceptors play an important role in the control of growth hormone in the rat, there are few studies involving the direct measurement of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH). We have therefore developed a radioimmunoassay...

Development and validation of a two-site immunochemiluminometric assay for rat growth hormone-releasing hormone.

Journal of neuroendocrinology

Page MD, Lewis MD, Lewis BM, Weeks I, Scanion MF.
PMID: 19210413
J Neuroendocrinol. 1989 Dec 01;1(6):433-6. doi: 10.1111/j.1365-2826.1989.tb00143.x.

Abstract We describe the development and validation of a two-site immunochemiluminometric assay for rat growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) based on the affinity purification of polyclonal rabbit antisera to rat GHRH using a human 1-29 GHRH affinity column. Assay sensitivity...

Electrical stimulation of specific brainstem nuclei suppresses growth hormone-releasing hormone-induced growth hormone secretion in the pentobarbital anaesthetized rat.

Journal of neuroendocrinology

Koibuchi N, Kato M, Kakegawa T, Suzuki M.
PMID: 19210457
J Neuroendocrinol. 1989 Jun 01;1(3):209-14. doi: 10.1111/j.1365-2826.1989.tb00105.x.

Abstract To clarify the neural mechanism related to suppression of growth hormone (GH) secretion, biphasic electrical stimulation was delivered into several brainstem nuclei in the pentobarbital anaesthetized rat. A concentric bipolar stimulating electrode was implanted chronically one week prior...

Molecular genetics of pituitary tumours.

Trends in endocrinology and metabolism: TEM

Farrell WE, Clayton RN.
PMID: 18406230
Trends Endocrinol Metab. 1998 Jan-Feb;9(1):20-6. doi: 10.1016/s1043-2760(98)00006-x.

The last several years have seen a significant increase in our understanding of the molecular and biochemical changes associated with pituitary tumour initiation and progression. The combined data, from several groups, now allow a tentative map to be drawn...

Inhibition of growth of human small cell and non-small cell lung carcinomas by antagonists of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GH-RH).

International journal of oncology

Pinski J, Schally A, Jungwirth A, Groot K, Halmos G, Armatis P, Zarandi M, Vadillobuenfil M.

Insulin-like growth factors-I and-II (IGF-I and IGF-II) may be involved in the proliferation of human lung carcinomas. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of two potent antagonists of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GH-RH), MZ-4-71 and MZ-5-156...

Modulation of growth axis gene expression by in utero and lactational exposure to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) in the weaning Holtzman rat.
