1 Steroids affect both the release and the effects of growth hormone (GH) at the target sites, hence becoming functional GH antagonists. Steroids growth hormone 1 Homo sapiens
2 Steroids affect both the release and the effects of growth hormone (GH) at the target sites, hence becoming functional GH antagonists. Steroids growth hormone 1 Homo sapiens
3 Steroids affect both the release and the effects of growth hormone (GH) at the target sites, hence becoming functional GH antagonists. Steroids growth hormone 1 Homo sapiens
4 GH (through IGF-I) significantly enhances linear growth; thus, in states of "functional" GH deficiency, such as that observed in chronic steroid use, GH may also have a potentially beneficial effect. Steroids growth hormone 1 Homo sapiens
5 GH (through IGF-I) significantly enhances linear growth; thus, in states of "functional" GH deficiency, such as that observed in chronic steroid use, GH may also have a potentially beneficial effect. Steroids growth hormone 1 Homo sapiens
6 Data from a recent study of ours using GH in children with steroid-dependent inflammatory bowel disease showed that GH treatment was associated with increased lean body mass, decreased adiposity and increased linear growth. Steroids growth hormone 1 Homo sapiens
7 Data from a recent study of ours using GH in children with steroid-dependent inflammatory bowel disease showed that GH treatment was associated with increased lean body mass, decreased adiposity and increased linear growth. Steroids growth hormone 1 Homo sapiens
8 In conclusion, GH therapy may play a role in the treatment of children on chronic steroids both as a growth promoting agent and as an anabolic agent on whole body protein and bone. Steroids growth hormone 1 Homo sapiens
