    Notes: Abstract Chronic renal failure in children is associated with growth failure. While the pathogenesis of uremic growth failure is multifactorial, an abnormal growth hormone/insulin-like growth factor (GH-IGF) axis is an important contributory element. Patients with uremia exhibit insensivivity to the action of GH, as exemplified by high plasma GH levels, low IGF-I activity, and poor somatic growth. This insensitivity can be overcome by supraphysiological doses of exogenous GH. Plasma GH binding protein (GHBP, the circulating ectodomain of the GH receptor) levels are decreased in patients with renal failure, as are hepatic GH receptor levels in animal models. Since GHBP levels are thought to reflect GH receptor levels in tissues, it is likely that the uremic GH insensitivity in humans is mediated by a decreased number of GH receptors. Another implication of the low plasma GHBP is a disproportionate elevation of free plasma GH (the biologically active moiety) relative to total GH, lending additional support to the concept of GH insensitivity in uremia. GH kinetics are altered in renal failure because of: (1) inability to excrete GH and (2) changes in the bound fraction of GH in the circulation.

    Notes: Abstract. Chronic renal failure in children is associated with growth failure. While the pathogenesis of uremic growth failure is multifactorial, an abnormal growth hormone / insulin-like growth factor (GH-IGF) axis is an important contributory element.

    Notes: High-affinity binding of insulin to receptors in human erythrocyte membranes occurred at the external surface, but not at the cytoplasmic surface of the plasma membrane, as assessed by insulin binding to right-side-out and inside-out membrane vesicles. Even after prolonged (3 h) incubation at 22°C, binding at the cytoplasmic membrane aspect remained negligible. The data indicate that the insulin receptor displays its hormone-binding site exclusively toward the extracellular space and that transmembrane mobility (“flip-flop”) of the receptor from one to the other membrane leaflet is severely restricted.
