Effect of rhGH treatment on lipidome and brown fat activity in prepuberal small for gestational age children: a pilot study by Lorena González, Carolina Gonzalez-Riano, Pablo Fernández-García, Rubén Cereijo, Aina Valls, Andrea Soria-Gondek, Nativitat Real, Belén Requena, Joan Bel-Comos, Patricia Corrales, David Jiménez-Pavón, Coral Barbas, Francesc Villarroya, David Sánchez-Infantes, Marta Murillo

“…Elevated levels of 1a,1b-dihomo-PGJ2 and adrenic acid suggested potential aging markers. rhGH treatment also significantly reduced meteorin-like (METRNL) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP1) serum levels to control levels. rhGH influences the serum lipidome, promoting changes in maturation and metabolism. Further research is required to clarify the direct effects of rhGH on specific lipid species and batokines, potentially addressing metabolic disturbances linked to obesity and aging.…”
