Treatment of constitutional delay of growth and puberty with oxandrolone compared with growth hormone.
The effects of oxandrolone or biosynthetic human growth hormone (r-hGH) on the growth of 26 boys with constitutional delay of growth and puberty were studied. Both regimens increased growth rate twofold, oxandrolone to a greater extent than r-hGH. We conclude that oxandrolone is a more effective method of increasing growth rate in such children.
متن کاملTreatment of constitutional growth delay in prepubertal boys with a prolonged course of low dose oxandrolone.
Forty six prepubertal boys who had constitutional growth delay were treated with oxandrolone. Mean age at the onset of treatment was 11.9 years (range 9.0-14.0) and bone age delay was 1.9 'years'. The dose of oxandrolone used was a mean of 0.05 mg/kg (range 0.03-0.18) for a mean of 0.9 years (range 0.2-3.6). Height velocity increased from a mean (SD) before treatment of 4.0 (1.0) to 7.5 (1.2) c...
متن کاملSpontaneous growth hormone secretion and plasma somatomedin-C in children of short stature.
We studied 17 short prepubertal children, aged 7.5 to 17.0 years (mean +/- SD: 11.7 +/- 2.4) more than 2.0 SD below the mean height for their age and of delayed bone age (M +/- SD: 8.1 +/- 2.3), to clarify their physiological GH secretory status. The mean concentration of GH (MCGH) was calculated and was compared with the subjects' GH responses to insulin and arginine tolerance tests (IATT) and...
متن کاملTestosterone Therapy Improves the First Year Height Velocity in Adolescent Boys with Constitutional Delay of Growth and Puberty

متن کاملEvaluation of near final height in boys with constitutional delay in growth and puberty
BACKGROUND This study was conducted to find out whether boys with constitutional delay in growth and puberty (CDGP) could attain their target height and predicted adult height (PAH) in adulthood or not. METHODS After measuring the height, weight, pubertal stage, parental height and bone age data of the patients at their first presentation were extracted from the files and their height and wei...
