  • Title: Catch-up growth.
    Author: Ackland FM, Preece MA.
    Journal: Pediatrician; 1987; 14(4):226-33. PubMed ID: 3331203.
    Abstract:
    We describe the phenomena of catch-up and catch-down growth. These are normal physiological responses in both endocrine and non-endocrine diseases of childhood. Evidence suggests that catch-up growth is controlled by a centre in the central nervous system and that it is not dependent on increased growth hormone secretion.
