DOI: 10.1155/2017/3106041
Abstract: Reportedly, fibromyalgia (FM) is frequently associated with reduced IGF-1 levels and GH hyporesponsiveness to different GH stimulation tests. Since there is a high prevalence of obesity in FM, and obesity itself is characterized by hyposomatotropism,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1515/jpem-2018-0435
Abstract: Abstract Background When evaluating peripubertal short stature patients, the interpretation of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) levels based on chronological age (CA) can be inaccurate due to the influence of sex steroids and, presently, there… read more here.

DOI: 10.1515/jpem-2018-0482
Abstract: Abstract Background Some studies have examined the effect of gonadal suppression on insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) levels and the growth velocity (GV) with conflicting results. Methods Forty-four girls treated with gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogue (GnRHa) for… read more here.
