    Author: Buyukgebiz A, Hindmarsh PC, Brook CG.
    Journal: Arch Dis Child; 1990 Apr; 65(4):448-9. PubMed ID: 2346341.
    Abstract:
    The effects of oxandrolone or biosynthetic human growth hormone (r-hGH) on the growth of 26 boys with constitutional delay of growth and puberty were studied. Both regimens increased growth rate twofold, oxandrolone to a greater extent than r-hGH. We conclude that oxandrolone is a more effective method of increasing growth rate in such children.
