Methods: Purified murine Leydig cells were treated with GnRH-Ⅰ and -Ⅱ agonists, and testosterone production and steroidogenic enzyme expressions were determined. Results: GnRH-Ⅰ and -Ⅱ agonists significantly stimulated murine Leydig cell steroidogenesis 60%-80% in a dose- and time-dependent manner (P 〈 0.05). The mRNA expressions of steroidogenic acute regulatory (STAR) protein, P450scc, 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (HSD), but not 17β-hydroxylase or 17β-HSD, were significantly stimulated by both GnRH agonists with a 1.5- to 3-fold increase (P 〈 0.05). However, only 3β-HSD protein expression was induced by both GnRH agonists, with a 1.6- to 2-fold increase (P 〈 0.05). Conclusion: GnRH directly stimulated murine Leydig cell steroidogenesis by activating 3β-HSD enzyme expression.展开更多
目的探讨重组人生长激素(recombinant human growth hormone,rhGH)联合促性腺激素释放激素类似物(gonadotropin releasing hormone analogue,GnRHa)对青春期特发性身材矮小症(idiopathic short stature,ISS)男童身高及骨代谢水平的影响...目的探讨重组人生长激素(recombinant human growth hormone,rhGH)联合促性腺激素释放激素类似物(gonadotropin releasing hormone analogue,GnRHa)对青春期特发性身材矮小症(idiopathic short stature,ISS)男童身高及骨代谢水平的影响。方法选取2020年10月至2021年9月上饶市立医院收治的60例ISS男童作为研究对象,采用随机数字表法分为对照组与观察组,每组30例。对照组给予rhGH治疗,观察组给予rhGH联合GnRHa治疗。比较两组治疗前后生长参数[身高(height,Ht)、体质量(weight,Wt)、体重指数(body mass index,BMI)、生长速率(growth velocity,GV)、身高标准差积分(height standard deviation score,HtSDS)]、骨代谢指标{血清骨碱性磷酸酶(bone alkaline phosphatase,BAP)、胰岛素样生长因子-1(insulin-like growth factor-1,IGF-1)、25-羟维生素D[25-hydroxyvitaminD,25-(OH)D]}、血脂指标[总胆固醇(total cholesterol,TC)、甘油三酯(triglyceride,TG)、高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(high density lipoprotein cholesterol,HDL-C)、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(low density lipoprotein cholesterol,LDL-C)、动脉粥样硬化指数(atherosclerosis index,AI)]及用药安全性。结果治疗12个月后,两组Ht、BMI、HtSDS均高于治疗前,Wt大于治疗前,GV快于治疗前,且观察组Ht、BMI、HtSDS均高于对照组,Wt大于对照组,GV快于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。治疗12个月后,两组BAP、IGF-1、25-(OH)D水平均高于治疗前,且观察组高于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。治疗12个月后,两组HDL-C水平均高于治疗前,LDL-C水平、AI均低于治疗前,且观察组HDL-C水平高于对照组,LDL-C水平、AI均低于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);两组组内、组间治疗前与治疗12个月后TC、TG水平比较差异无统计学意义。两组不良反应发生率比较差异无统计学意义。结论rhGH联合GnRHa治疗ISS男童可改善患儿骨代谢及血脂水平,促进其生长发育,安全性较高。展开更多
