DESCRIPTION:Dr. Gloria Tannenbaum\, Depts of Pediatrics and Neurology &\nNe
 urosurgery\, 9I制作厂免费\, and the Montreal Children's Hospital Research\nInsti
 tute. Pulsatile release is a prominent feature of many\nhormones secreted 
 from the pituitary gland. This has led to a\nsustained interest in the pos
 sible functions of the pulsatility and\ninvestigations of the importance o
 f pulsatility in hormone\nreplacement therapy. In particular\, growth horm
 one\, an essential\nhormone for normal growth and metabolism\, is secreted
  in a striking\npulsatile pattern. These pulses decline with age. Differen
 ces in\nthe temporal pattern of growth hormone release evoke remarkable\nm
 ale-female differences in body growth\, liver enzyme gene\nexpression\, an
 d signaling in single cells. In this talk\, I will\ndescribe the control o
 f growth hormone secretion and will discuss\nthe brain mechanisms that gen
 erate its periodicity. I will also\ndiscuss several current clinical contr
 oversies surrounding the\nuse/abuse of growth hormone to increase height i
 n short children\,\nto improve muscle strength and function among athletic
  youth\, and\nto retard or reverse the effects of aging in older adults.\n
 Organized by the Royal Society of Canada and 9I制作厂免费 with\nthe e
 xpress purpose of fostering communication between scientists\nin different
  disciplines as well as between scientists and the\npublic. Sponsored by t
 he Royal Society of Canada\, Cutting Edge\nlectures are made possible thro
 ugh the generous support of Heather\nMunroe-Blum (9I制作厂免费 Principal)\, Rich
