The characteristics of the human serum growth hormone-binding protein (GHBP) were compared with those of a water-soluble GH-binding site prepared by incubating cultured IM-9 lymphocytes in assay buffer with 25 mmol/l iodoacetamide. High-performance liquid chromatography gel filtration of the water-soluble GH-binding site incubated with 125I-labeled...

In order to detect somatic and psychomotor disturbances in children and adolescents residing in areas of iodine deficiency, schoolchildren from three areas with different degrees of iodine deficiency were studied. In Randan, the prevalence of severe endemic goiter was accompanied by alteration in thyroid function, increased thyrotropin levels and r...

Recent studies have revealed that altered mineral and vitamin D metabolism is observed in diabetic patients with the complication of osteopenia. In order to elucidate the role of parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTHrP) on calcium homeostasis in diabetes, we have measured the serum level and urinary excretion of PTHrP as well as other serum calc...

Recent data suggest that the plasma concentration of insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 (IGFBP-3) is useful as a screening test for growth hormone (GH) deficiency. In this study, we measured by radioimmunoassay the levels of IGFBP-3 in a group of 20 subjects (12 males) of 5 years and 7 months to 16 years of age undergoing standard GH test...

In order to throw light upon the eventual need for iodine supplementation in Denmark, four age groups of women (15, 30, 45 and 60 years) from the Holbaek municipality were invited for a clinical and ultrasound study of thyroid volume, structure and function. Of the 570 women invited, 391 accepted and were divided into the following groups: group I:...

A patient with acromegaly and hyperthyroidism due to a growth hormone-, thyrotrophin- and alpha-subunit-secreting pituitary adenoma is described. His decreased father had suffered from a pituitary tumour, and was likely to have had acromegaly as well. Plasma growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor I concentrations were elevated, with levels b...

In this study the localization and regulation of steady-state follistatin messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) levels in testicular cell cultures were examined with a solution-hybridization assay using a specific 32P-labelled cytosolic RNA antisense probe for follistatin and a 35S-labelled cytosolic RNA antisense probe for cyclophilin as internal stan...

Pancreatic A-cell function in the newly developed Otsuka Long Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) strain of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) rats was examined in relation to the morphological changes in their islets and the plasma glucagon responses to insulin-induced hypoglycemia and an arginine test by chronological studies in seven male...
