Abstract: The disclosure provides a method of treating myeloid leukemia, the method comprising administering a GHRH antagonist to mammalian subject in need thereof. The disclosure further provides use of a GHRH antagonist for treating myeloid leukemia or in the preparation of a medicament for treating myeloid leukemia. The disclosure also provides a GHRH antagonist for use in treating myeloid leukemia.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are compositions of GHRH agonists and peptides, and methods to treat disorders, such as ischemia and reperfusion injury. In one embodiment, a method of treating a reperfusion injury in a subject in need may involve administering a therapeutically effective amount of at least one GHRH agonist peptide to the subject. In additional embodiment, a method of promoting vasculogenesis in a mammal may involve administering a therapeutically effective amount of at least one GHRH agonist peptide to the subject. In a further embodiment, a method of promoting differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells into endothelial cells may involve contacting mesenchymal stem cells with at least one GHRH agonist peptide.

Abstract: Described herein are materials and methods for treating dyslipidemia in a mammalian subject in need thereof comprising administering a growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) antagonist or variant thereof to the subject.

Abstract: There is provided a novel series of synthetic antagonistic analogs of hGH-RH(1-29)NH2. These analogs inhibit the activity of endogenous hGH-RH on the pituitary GH-RH receptors, and therefore prevent the release of growth hormone. The analogs also inhibit the proliferation of human cancers through a direct effect on the cancer cells. The higher inhibitory potencies of the new analogs, as compared to previously described ones, results from replacement of various amino acids.
