Growth and somatomedin responses to growth hormone in Down's syndrome.
Five growth retarded children with Down's syndrome, three girls and two boys aged between 3 1/2 and 6 1/2 years with trisomy 21, were treated with human growth hormone for six months. Before treatment the growth hormone response to sleep and insulin-arginine load, as well as serum concentrations of insulin, thyroid hormones, and cortisol was found to be in the normal range. During the treatment...
متن کامل[Somatomedin (bioassay) response to long-term growth hormone treatment of idiopathic pituitary dwarfism].
Serum somatomedin (SM) activity by bioassay was measured in 46 idiopathic pituitary dwarfs before and during long-term hGH treatment. The mean (+/- SD) pretreatment SM activity was 0.38 +/- 0.17 U/ml. The mean (+/- SD) pretreatment annual growth rate was 3.4 +/- 1.0 cm/year. None of the patients had a SM activity within the normal range of age-matched controls. The mean SM activity 1 day post G...
متن کاملShort stature in Noonan syndrome: response to growth hormone therapy.
BACKGROUND Growth hormone (GH) has been used to promote growth in both the short and long term in a number of dysmorphic syndromes, including Turner syndrome. As this condition shares many clinical features with Noonan syndrome, it would seem logical to treat the latter group with GH. AIMS To assess the short and long term response to GH therapy in patients with Noonan syndrome. METHODS Ana...
متن کاملResponse to growth hormone therapy in adolescents with familial panhypopituitarism.
Familial combined pituitary hormone deficiency is a rare endocrine disorder. We describe growth patterns of four children (3 females and 1 male) from two families with combined pituitary hormone deficiency. These children received growth hormone at ages ranging from 14.5 years to 19 years. While all the female siblings reached their target height, the male sibling was much shorter than mid pare...
متن کاملPredicting bull growth performance and carcass composition from growth hormone response to growth hormone-releasing hormone.
Development of practical, physiologically based methods that provide an early, yet accurate, evaluation of a bull's genetic merit could benefit the beef industry. The use of GH response to a single, acute dose of GHRH was evaluated as a predictor of future growth performance and carcass characteristics of weanling bulls. Fifty-six Angus bulls averaging 229 d (SD = 27) of age were administered t...
