  4. 17. Conditions associated with increased growth hormone and prolactin sensitivity

    Author : Amira Said Mohammed Alkharusi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Growth Hormone (GH) and Prolactin (PRL) are critical regulators of body growth and metabolism. Secretion and actions of GH and PRL are regulated at several levels and by different factors. The biological actions of these hormones are initiated by their binding to the respective membrane bound receptors of GH and PRL (GHR and PRLR). READ MORE

  6. 19. Effects of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and growth hormone on osteoblast-like cells

    Author : Orlando Morales; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Vitamin D3; Growth Hormone; Osteoblasts; signal transduction;

    Abstract : Bone remodeling, which occurs throughout life in both cancellous and cortical bone, involves mainly the osteoblasts and osteoclasts. The osteoblast is responsible for the production of matrix, which later becomes mineralized. The osteoclast is a large, multinuclear cell, which is responsible for bone resorption. READ MORE
