| 1. | A single normal IGF-1 value will reliably exclude GH hypersecretion.
|
| 2. | The course of action ultimately depends on the cause of the hypersecretion.
|
| 3. | Hypersecretion is more common than hyposecretion.
|
| 4. | Hypersecretion of mucus can occur in inflammatory respiratory diseases such as respiratory expectorating phlegm from the throat.
|
| 5. | Ectopic production of large amounts of ADH leads to syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone hypersecretion ( SIADH ).
|
| 6. | This phenomenon of hypersecretion is called the Arias-Stella phenomenon, after the pathologist Javier Arias-Stella.
|
| 7. | It does not undergo diurnal variation and will thus be consistently elevated in GH hypersecretion and therefore patients with gigantism.
|
| 8. | Increases in these facilitate memory, but chronic stress associated with prolonged hypersecretion of cortisol may have the opposite effect.
|
| 9. | Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 ( IGF-1 ) is an excellent test for evaluation of GH hypersecretion.
|
| 10. | This gene has been linked to mucus hypersecretion in the pulmonary tracts and associated to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD ).
