Role of growth hormone (GH) in the treatment on neural diseases: From neuroprotection to neural repair
Abstract
Growth
hormone (GH) is a pleiotropic hormone that exerts important functions
in the control of brain development as well as in the regulation
neuronal differentiation and function, together with several behavioral
and psychological effects that have been linked to its modulatory
actions on brain neurotransmitters. In addition, the possibility that GH
may play a role on brain repair after injury has been also envisaged,
and a number of reports have shown that GH administration following
injury confers neuroprotection and accelerates the recovery of some
neural functions. In this review we have analyzed the state of the art
of GH administration in several neural diseases. Though more studies are
still necessary in order to completely understand the importance of GH
in these processes, the promising results obtained so far, together with
the absence of untoward effects during GH therapy, encourages the
development of clinical assays in order to further support the use GH
treatment in neural diseases in which neuroprotection and/or
neuroregeneration are involved.
