Disease relevance of Acromegaly

 

High impact information on Acromegaly

  • Successful pregnancy in a previously infertile woman treated with SMS-201-995 for acromegaly [6].
  • We measured the ability of plasma extracts from patients with acromegaly to inhibit the binding of ouabain to the sodium pump in normal red cells and to inhibit the enzymatic activity (sodium-potassium-ATPase) of the sodium pump in membrane preparations from normal kidneys [7].
  • Although bromocriptine, a dopamine receptor agonist, is now widely used in the treatment of acromegaly, there have been no controlled trials of its biochemical or clinical effects on this disorder [8].
  • Measurement of somatomedin-C appears to provide a reliable means for confirming the diagnosis of acromegaly and of clinical disease activity than measurement of growth hormone concentrations [9].
  • Growth hormone receptor antagonists: discovery, development, and use in patients with acromegaly [10].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Acromegaly

 

Biological context of Acromegaly

 

Anatomical context of Acromegaly

  • Growth hormone-releasing factors (GRF's) from two human pancreatic tumors (hpGRF's) that caused acromegaly and from the rat hypothalamus ( rhGRF ) were recently isolated and characterized [22].
  • Thyroid volume and serum thyroglobulin levels in patients with acromegaly: correlation with plasma insulin-like growth factor I levels [23].
  • In this investigation, the pituitary glands of eight patients with CNC and acromegaly [age, 22.9+/-11.6 yr (mean +/- SD)] were studied histologically [24].
  • This study examined the effects of acromegaly treatment on adipose tissue LPL [25].
  • Our data demonstrate that patients with long-term acromegaly have normal sympathetic activity in the skeletal muscle in the basal, postabsorptive state and normal increments in NE spillover in response to the sympatho-excitatory effect of insulin [26].
