摘要
生长激素(growth hormone,GH)是腺垂体合成和分泌的重要激素之一,大部分通过其介质胰岛素样生长因子-1(insu lin-like growth factors-1,IGF-1)发挥作用。GH/IGF-1对心血管系统具有促进心肌生长,增强心肌收缩力等特殊效应。因而在心力衰竭的治疗中有着重要的价值,现对GH/IGF-1治疗心力衰竭的可能机制作一综述。
Growth hormone(GH) ,a kind of important hormone,is synthesized and excreted by gland hypophysis. Most of it works by its medium insulin-like growth factors-1 ( IGF-1) to achieve its aim. GH and IGF-1 can increase left-ventricular wall thickness and improve cardiac function and exercise capacity. So GH and IGF-1 play important roles in the treatment of heart failure. This review describes the mechanism of GH and IGF-1 in treatment of heart failure.
