(1) The investigation yielded several general growth principles, i.e., types of growth occurring rather frequently: (a) allometric growth, (b) a non-changing growth rate, persisting when the growth ra...
The aim of this study was to relate human fetal growth retardation to specific hormone alterations. Serum levels of GH, IGF-I, IGF-II, and IGF binding protein (BP) 3 were measured during the second ha...
Since normal pulsatile growth-hormone (GH) secretion displays a major and consistent surge during sleep, we studied the effect of timing of GH supplementation on plasma GH-binding protein activity (GH...
We examined the in vitro effects of pituitary-derived chicken growth hormone (cGH), recombinant human insulin-like growth factor-I (rhIGF-I), recombinant human basic fibroblast growth factor (rhbFGF),...
Second- and third-trimester growth in 34 twin fetuses was evaluated with ultrasonography by measurement of five anatomic parameters. Rossavik growth models, derived from second-trimester measurements,...
Short stature commonly follows intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR). Most patients are not growth hormone (GH)-deficient, but GH therapy has been used in IUGR. Early studies found a heterogeneous in...
Hypokalemic tubular disorders may lead to growth retardation which is resistant to growth hormone (GH) treatment. The mechanism of these alterations is unknown. Weaning female rats were grouped (n = 1...
We previously described significant changes in GH-binding protein (GHBP) in pathological human pregnancy. There was a substantial elevation of GHBP in cases ofnoninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus an...
