Modified Clonidine Testing for Growth Hormone Stimulation Reveals α2-Adrenoreceptor Sub Sensitivity in Children with Idiopathic Growth Hormone Deficiency
INTRODUCTION The association between short stature and increased risk of ischemic heart disease has been subject to studies for decades. The recent discussion of cardiovascular risk during growth hormone therapy has given new importance to this question. We have hypothesized that the autonomic system is a crucial element relating to this subject. METHODS Heart rate variability calculated from...
متن کاملComparison of the growth hormone, oxandrolone, letrozole and anastrozole’s impact on the height increase in children and adolescents with idiopathic short stature (ISS): a systematic review and meta-analysis
Background: Short children face many problems throughout their lives. Consumption of growth hormone and the drugs such as Letrozole, Oxandrolone, and Anastrozole can increase the growth of children and adolescents. There is not an overall estimate of the effects of Letrozole, Oxandrolone, and Anastrozole on the growth of children and adolescents with Idiopathic Short Stature (ISS). There are di...
متن کامل[Provocative tests in the diagnosis of childhood onset growth hormone insufficiency].
INTRODUCTION The incidence of short stature associated with growth hormone deficiency has been estimated to be about 1:4000 to 1:10000. It is the main indication for treatment with recombinant growth hormone. OBJECTIVES The aims of the study were to evaluate the results of growth hormone stimulation tests and identify the growth hormone deficiency predictors. MATERIAL AND METHODS A cross-se...
متن کاملClonidine-stimulated growth hormone concentrations (cut-off values) measured by immunochemiluminescent assay (ICMA) in children and adolescents with short stature
OBJECTIVES To establish cut-off values for growth hormone concentrations using clonidine as a secretagogue and an immunochemiluminescent assay as the method of measurement and to analyze the response time as well as the influence of gender, nutritional status and pubertal stage. METHODS A total of 225 tests were performed in 3 patient groups, categorized as group 1 (normal), group 2 (idiopath...
متن کاملInfluence of Body Mass Index on the Growth Hormone Response to Provocative Testing in Short Children without Growth Hormone Deficiency
Obesity and its related factors are known to suppress the secretion of growth hormone (GH). We aimed to evaluate the influence of body mass index (BMI) on the peak GH response to provocative testing in short children without GH deficiency. We conducted a retrospective review of medical records of 88 children (2-15 yr old) whose height was less than 3 percentile for one's age and sex, with norma...
