摘要
To investigate the effects of growth hormone (GH) on the reversal of growth failure in uremia, recombinant human GH (rhGH) was administered to rats with chronic renal failure (CRF). The dosage of rhGH was 3 IU/day (i.p.) for 13 days after the induction of CRF by 5/6 nephrectomy. Animals were classified into four groups: untreated nephrectomized rats (NX, n = 40), GH-treated nephrectomized rats (NX + GH, n = 18), sham-operated rats fed ad libitum (SHAMAL, n = 27), and sham-operated rats pair-fed with 10 NX rats (SHAMPF, n = 10). NX and NX + GH rats developed a similar and moderate degree of CRF, serum urea nitrogen being (mean +/- SEM) 49 +/- 3 and 54 +/- 4 mg/dl, respectively, compared with 16 +/- 4 and 19 +/- 0 mg/dl in SHAMAL and SHAMPF groups. Weight (56.0 +/- 3.3 g) and length (3.5 +/- 0.1 cm) gains of NX rats were lower than those of SHAMAL rats (94.2 +/- 4.0 g, P less-than-or-equal-to 0.0001 and 4.1 +/- 0.2 cm, P less-than-or-equal-to 0.01). Growth of the SHAMPF group and the matched NX rats was not significantly different. Weight (56.2 +/- 5.0 g) and length (3.4 +/- 0.2 cm) gains of NX + GH and NX rats were similar, the beneficial effect of GH therapy on growth being observed in only those animals with more severe degrees of uremia. This growth-promoting action resulted from greater food efficiency and not from stimulated food intake. The hypercholesterolemia seen in NX rats, 81 +/- 2 mg/dl versus 55 +/- 3 mg/dl in SHAMAL (P less-than-or-equal-to 0.0001), was not increased in the NX + GH group, 87 +/- 3 mg/dl. There was a positive and significant correlation between serum cholesterol and serum urea nitrogen values in NX and NX + GH animals. This study suggests that growth impairment of mild CRF is mainly due to malnutrition and is refractory to GH administration. GH therapy improves the growth rate of animals with advanced CRF without aggravating their lipid abnormalities.
