  • Title: Some properties of the plasma hGH activity in patients with Laron-type dwarfism determined by a radioreceptor assay using human liver tissue.

    Journal: Horm Res; 1985; 22(4):276-83. PubMed ID: 3000911.
    Abstract:
    A radioreceptor assay for human growth hormone (hGH) using the 100,000-g pellet of human liver tissue homogenates obtained from a 13-year-old male donor of a kidney transplantation is described. The dilution curves of the plasma hGH of 6 patients with Laron-type dwarfism (LTD) as well as those of the plasma hGH from 1 normal child and 2 acromegalic patients were all found to be parallel to the standard curve, suggesting that in the LTD syndrome the circulating hGH is biologically active.
