Prior studies show that disrupting somatotropic axis components extends laboratory mouse lifespan, but confounding effects of additional genes and hormones obscure the specific impact of growth hormone (GH) on longevity. We address this issue by using mice with a specific knockout of the GH gene, revealing that disrupting GH alone substantially increases lifespan. The longevity effects are accompanied by altered metabolic fuel utilization, directly linking GH action to aging mechanisms.

Introduction Hypothyroidism represents an endocrine disorder marked by the insufficient production of hormones by the thyroid gland, with significant effects on bodily functions. Its occurrence during pregnancy is of particular concern due to its profound effects on both maternal and fetal health outcomes. Aim To study the impact of hypothyroidism in pregnancy and its correlation with feto-maternal outcomes.

Considerable biological decline of continuously cropped alfalfa may be tightly linked to rhizosphere metabolism. However, plant-soil feedbacks and age-related metabolic changes in alfalfa stands remain unexplored. The aim of this study was to identify the linkages of rhizosphere and root metabolites, particularly autotoxins and prebiotics, to alfalfa decline under continuous cropping.

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, West China Second University Hospital, Sichuan University, 610017 Chengdu, Sichuan, China.
Background: Nuclear receptor subfamily 4 group A member 3 () is lowly expressed in ectopic endometrium and can be degraded by ubiquitination in vascular endothelial cells. Murine double minute 2 () is predicted to be the ubiquitin ligase of . Hence, we investigated the effects of and on endometriosis and clarified corresponding regulatory mechanisms.

Pediatric Endocrinology and Metabolism Research Center, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, P.O. Box, Shiraz, 71345-1744, Iran.
Background: L-arginine (Arg) is a semi-essential amino acid that can be used as a key mediator for the release of growth hormone (GH), insulin-like growth factor-1(IGF-1), and other growth factors. In this study, we comprehensively evaluated the effect of Arg intake on bone growth and associated markers.
Methods: The study involved 24 Sprague-Dawley rats (12 males, 12 females) divided into two groups (Age = 24 days).
