Clin Exp Pediatr. 1991;34(12):1621-1628.   Published online December 31, 1991
Sex honnone had been thought to influence in the serum level of growth honnone (GH) since 1944 year. After it became known that the exogenous administration of sex honnone to growth-retarded children increase serum GH level, sex honnone-especially testosterone-was thought to induce GH release. Testosterone is thought to act on the hypothalamo-pituitary axis to stimulate GH secretion and estradi이 is also thought...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1991;34(7):999-1008.   Published online July 31, 1991
Since Raben’s original report that human growth hormone promoted growth in a boy with pituitary dwarfism, the hormone’s efficacy in children with growth hormone deficiency has been amply confirmed. However the scarcity of growth hormone prepared human pituitaries has limited studies of its usefulness in short stature. The availability of a biologically active human growth hormone produced by recombinant-DNA technology has dramatically changed the...
