Effect of growth hormone treatment on children with idiopathic short stature and idiopathic growth hormone deficiency

Thus, the authors retrospectively compared the effects of GH in ISS and IGHD. METHODS From the medical records of 26 ISS and 30 IGHD children, auxological and b...
متن کاملOptimization of growth hormone therapy in growth hormone deficient children.
Successful treatment with human growth hormone (hGH) was initially reported by Raben in 19581. Although itis well established that pituitary derived or biosynthetic hGH increases the growth rate in growth hormone deficient children, many patients that were treated in the early days have not reached their target height, or attained adult height below the third percentile of population standards ...
متن کاملEffect of growth hormone therapy on the proinflammatory cytokine profile in growth hormone-deficient children.
The aim of the present study was to establish whether growth hormone (GH) treatment in vivo affects pro-inflammatory cytokine production by resting or in vitro, activated, cultured, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from children with complete growth hormone deficiency (GHD). We evaluated 11, pre-pubertal children (6 males and 5 females) with GHD, aged between 6 and 14 years, and 9, age...
متن کاملNovel Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone Receptor Gene Mutations in Turkish Children with Isolated Growth Hormone Deficiency
OBJECTIVE Isolated growth hormone deficiency (IGHD) is defined as a medical condition associated with growth failure due to insufficient production of GH or lack of GH action. Mutations in the gene encoding for GH-releasing hormone receptor (GHRHR) have been detected in patients with IGHD type IB. However, genetic defects on GHRHR causing IGHD in the Turkish population have not yet been reporte...
