Received: 29 November 2019; Accepted: 25 March 2020; Published: 27 March 2020 Abstract: Despite the important role that the growth hormone (GH)/IGF-I axis plays in vascular homeostasis, these kind of growth factors barely appear in articles addressing the neovascularization process. Currently, the vascular endothelium is considered as an authentic gland of internal secretion due to the wide variety of released factors and functions with local effects, including the paracrine/autocrine production of GH or IGF-I, for which the endothelium has specific receptors. In this comprehensive review, the evidence involving these proangiogenic hormones in arteriogenesis dealing with the arterial occlusion and making of them a potential therapy is described. All the elements that trigger the local and systemic production of GH/IGF-I, as well as their possible roles both in physiological and pathological conditions are analyzed.

Digital Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from the Faculty of Pharmacy 279. 60 pp. Uppsala: Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. ISBN 978-91-513-0765-7. There is an ongoing opioid crisis in the United States that is portrayed by a large number of opioid-related deaths. Many of these cases involve commonly used prescription opioids, such as morphine, oxycodone, fentanyl, and methadone. This is concerning and highlights the problems associated with long-term opioid treatment. In addition to opioid-related deaths, long-term opioid use may impact higher brain functions, such as cognitive function. The cause of cognitive decline following opioid treatment may be associated with increased neuronal cell death, inhibited neurogenesis, and altered volumes of specific brain regions important for cognition. Growth hormone (GH), a pituitary hormone regulated by the hypothalamic somatotropic axis, may counteract several of these effects. The hormone, alongside with its mediator insulin- like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), is associated with pro-cognitive effects and display promising neuroprotective actions in the CNS.

Sherwood ABSTRACT Growth Hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) is a neuropeptide which stimulates the synthesis and release of growth hormone (GH) from the pituitary gland. The primary structure of this peptide has been identified in 7 mammalian species while the gene has been isolated from only rat and human. GHRH is a member of the glucagon superfamily which includes vasoactive intestinal peptide (VXP), glucagon, secretin, peptide histidine methionine (PHM), gastric inhibitory peptide (GXP) and a recently identified peptide, pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP). The evolutionary relationships of this superfamily are not well understood because the gene structure of these molecules has only been identified in mammals.
