Adrenal androgen production is reduced in association with disease severity in HIV-infected women. This response may be maladaptive in terms of maintenance of lean body mass, functional status, and immune function. The aim of this study was to assess

Ghrelin stimulates growth hormone (GH) secretion, but it is unknown whether there is a feedback of GH on ghrelin secretion. In this study, we characterized the relatedness of GH and ghrelin in a model of acute caloric deprivation in 10 healthy women

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-lipodystrophy is a syndrome characterized by changes in fat distribution and insulin resistance. Prior studies suggest markedly reduced growth hormone (GH) levels in association with excess visceral adiposity among

Giving L-tryptophan, serotonin's circulating precursor, or a serotonin-releasing drug can decrease food intake and body weight. Giving 5-hydroxy-L-tryptophan (5-HTP), serotonin's immediate intracellular precursor, has been thought to be ineffective i

GHRH is a potentially appealing strategy to simultaneously improve fat distribution and increase bone turnover in HIV-infected patients. We investigated the effects of GHRH (1 mg sc twice a day over 12 wk) in 31 HIV-infected men with abdominal fat ac

Prior studies suggest reduced overnight GH secretion in association with excess visceral adiposity among patients with HIV lipodystrophy (LIPO, i.e. with fat redistribution). We now investigate GH responses to standardized GHRH-arginine in LIPO patie

Little is known about the acute regulation of adiponectin in humans. In animal studies, adiponectin increases the clearance of free fatty acids (FFA) from the circulation by increasing skeletal uptake and oxidation of lipid, thereby regulating the FF

The physiological importance of endogenous ghrelin in the regulation of growth hormone (GH) secretion is still unknown. To investigate the regulation of ghrelin secretion and pulsatility, we performed overnight ghrelin and GH sampling every 20 min fo

Background: The delivery of circulating tryptophan to the brain and its conversion to serotonin vary directly with plasma concentrations of tryptophan and inversely with those of other large neutral amino acids (LNAAs). Although carbohydrate-rich, pr
