概括
增长激素 (GH) 治疗使肥胖,矮身和代谢功能障碍相关的性肝病 (MASLD) 的青少年的肝酶正常化并改善了BMI. 这表明GH疗法需要对患有生长问题的MASLD患者进行进一步的研究.
科学领域:
- 儿科内分泌学 儿科内分泌学
- 肝病学 肝病学是一种肝病学.
- 代谢障碍 代谢障碍 代谢障碍
背景情况:
- 代谢功能障碍相关的脂肪性肝病 (MASLD) 是儿童和成人慢性肝炎的主要原因.
- MASLD与低甲状腺激素活性和潜在的生长激素 (GH) 缺乏有关.
- 肥胖和矮身是患有MASLD的青少年常见的并发症.
研究的目的:
- 研究生长激素 (GH) 治疗对肝酶和肥胖,矮身和MASLD的青少年生长的影响.
- 在儿科患者中探索GH缺乏和MASLD之间的潜在联系.
主要方法:
- 一个13岁的青少年患有肥胖 (BMI第93至96百分位) 和肝酶 (ALT,AST) 升高的病例报告.
- 评估包括生活方式干预,排除其他肝炎原因,骨龄评估,IGF1/IGFB3水平,GH刺激测试和垂体MRI.
- 增长激素 (GH) 治疗是在GH缺乏症和垂体缺血症的诊断后开始的.
主要成果:
- 最初的生活方式干预改善了,但没有使肝酶和BMI正常化.
- 尽管IGF1/IGFB3水平正常,但患者被诊断为GH缺乏症.
- 九个月的GH疗法使肝酶正常化 (ALT=18 U/L,AST=23 U/L) 并将BMI降低到第75个百分点.
结论:
- 增长激素 (GH) 治疗有效地使肝酶正常化,并改善了矮身和MASLD的青少年的体重指数 (BMI).
- GH缺乏可能在青少年MASLD的发病过程中发挥作用.
- 应考虑并进一步调查GH治疗的青少年呈现的矮身和MASLD.

Insulin: Dosing Regimen and Adverse Effects
160
Insulin-replacement therapy usually includes both long-acting insulin (basal) and short-acting insulin (to cater to postprandial needs). In a diverse group of type 1 diabetes patients, the average daily insulin dose is typically 0.5-0.7 units/kg body weight. However, obese patients and pubertal adolescents may need more due to insulin resistance.
The basal dose constitutes about 40%-50% of the total daily dose, with the rest as premeal insulin. The mealtime insulin dose should mirror...

Nature and Nurture
20.4K
Many human characteristics, like height, are shaped by both nature—in other words, by our genes—and by nurture, or our environment. For example, chronic stress during childhood inhibits the production of growth hormones and consequently reduces bone growth and height. Scientists estimate that 70-90% of variation in height is due to genetic differences among individuals, and 10-30% of variation in height is due to differences in the environments that individuals experience,...

Hypoglycemia and Glucagon
217
Without prolonged fasting, healthy individuals maintain blood glucose levels above 3.5 mM due to a well-adapted neuroendocrine counterregulatory system that effectively prevents acute hypoglycemia, a potentially life-threatening condition. The primary clinical scenarios for hypoglycemia encompass diabetes treatment, inappropriate production of endogenous insulin or insulin-like substances by tumors, and the use of glucose-lowering agents in non-diabetic individuals. Notably, hypoglycemia in the...

Signs of Puberty
286
Puberty is a critical phase, typically beginning between the ages of 8 and 13 in girls and 9 and 14 in boys, though timing can vary based on genetics, environmental factors, and overall health. This period is characterized by the development of secondary sexual characteristics and the attainment of reproductive potential. Endocrine changes underpin puberty, with hormonal surges of Luteinizing Hormone (LH) and Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) instigated by Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (GnRH)...

Hormones and Bone Tissue
2.6K
The endocrine system produces and secretes hormones, which interact with the skeletal system. These hormones control bone growth, maintain bone once it is formed, and remodel it.
Hormones That Influence Osteoblasts and/or Maintain the Matrix
Several hormones are necessary for controlling bone growth and maintaining the bone matrix. The pituitary gland secretes growth hormone (GH), which, as its name implies, controls bone growth. This happens in several ways: first, it triggers chondrocyte...

Major Hormones and Their Functions
352
Hormones, the biochemical messengers produced by endocrine glands, are pivotal in regulating bodily functions and maintaining homeostasis. Each hormone's balance is crucial; imbalances can lead to significant physiological disruptions. Major hormones include oxytocin, cortisol, epinephrine, estrogen, testosterone, thyroxine, growth hormone, insulin, and glucagon.
Oxytocin, produced in the hypothalamus and released by the pituitary gland, plays a role in social bonding, childbirth, and...
