Glucocorticoids modulate growth hormone (GH) secretion at both the hypothalamic and pituitary level Hypoadrenalism might cause GH deficiency that is reversible during glucocorticoid replacement ...

Glucocorticoid therapy is associated with decreased growth; however, studies have shown that growth hormone (GH) treatment can restore growth in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA ...

If you experience symptoms of Cushing syndrome—such as unusual weight gain, skin changes, or persistent fatigue—consult a ...

Conclusions Long-term growth hormone treatment of children with chronic renal failure induces persistent catch-up growth, and the majority of patients achieve normal adult height.

What are the recommendations for use of recombinant growth hormone for children with growth retardation secondary to steroid therapy used in treatment of renal diseases such as nephrotic syndrome?

Glucocorticoid hormone signal in regulatory T cells promotes hair follicle stem cell activation and new hair growth. Left: After hair loss, skin cells (blue) from a normal mouse can activate hair ...

Increased levels of stress hormones can lead pregnant mice to overeat, but affect growth of the fetus and, potentially, the long term health of the offspring, according to a study published today.

Most people naturally have enough HGH. For those with a growth hormone deficiency (or a few other health conditions), GH therapy may offer a solution.

New research provides the first molecular understanding of why people gain weight due to chronic stress, disrupted circadian rhythms and treatment with glucocorticoid drugs: it's all in the timing ...

Key takeaways: Crinecerfont enabled many children with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) to achieve reductions in glucocorticoid dose and androstenedione level. The drug improved hormone levels ...
