  • Title: Growth-hormone therapy for short children without growth-hormone deficiency.
    Journal: Nutr Rev; 1992 Jul; 50(7):199-201. PubMed ID: 1641200.
    Abstract:
    The daily subcutaneous injection of 0.3 U/kg of recombinant growth hormone (GH) for the two years prior to puberty in ten constitutionally growth-retarded children with normal pituitary function resulted in an average height gain of 10 cm per year. No manifestations of GH excess were seen, and a transient alteration in glucose metabolism was resolved after treatment.
