Random growth hormone (GH) levels in a healthy person range as follows: Men: < 5 ng/mL or < 226 pmol/L Women: < 10 ng/mL or < 452 pmol/L Children: 0-20 ng/mL or 0-904 pmol/L Newborns: 5-40 ng/mL or 226-1808 pmol/L GH suppression test value (using 100 g
When a child has slow growth, short stature, and delayed motor development or sometimes when an adult has decreased bone density and/or muscle strength and elevated blood lipid levels that could be related to growth hormone deficiency; when a child or adult has signs and symptoms suggestive of ...
Acquired growth hormone deficiency may result from trauma, infections (eg, encephalitis, meningitis), cranial irradiation (somatotrophs appear to be the most radiation-sensitive cells in the pituitary), and other systemic diseases (particularly histiocytosis). Although most instances of isolated growth h...
UNLABELLED: The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of growth hormone-releasing peptide-2 (GHRP-2) and cysteamine (CS) administration on growth performance in yaks with growth retardation and try to elucidate its regulatory mechanisms. Trial 1, thirty-six 1-year-old Qinghai hi...
