A pilot study was carried out to examine the safety and efficacy of recombinant human growth hormone for growth-promoting therapy of achondroplasia. The data suggest that the agent in doses used to treat non-GH-deficient forms of short stature (0.3 mg/kg/wk) modestly increases overall height velocit
Following an initial report from Japan in 1987, 15 growth hormone (GH)-deficient patients developed leukaemia during or following GH treatment. Nearly all available pituitary and biosynthetic growth hormones have been used. In 14 of these 15 patients GH treatment was initiated in 1975 or later with
The case is reported of a 43-year-old patient with a peripherally located bronchial carcinoid tumor containing large amounts of immunoreactive and bioactive growth-hormone releasing hormone (GHRH). Because no GHRH was found in the peripheral circulation, there was no quantitative or qualitative dera
Skinfold thickness (ST) was measured in 43 children with various forms of growth hormone (GH) deficiency during the first year of GH therapy. The average (and SEM) initial ST, expressed as standard deviation score (SDS) was 1.17 (0.25) for subscapular, 0.63 (0.18) for triceps, and 0.40 (0.21) for bi
