Understanding growth hormone sensitivity and responsiveness: factors affecting IGF-1 response to growth hormone

Understanding growth hormone sensitivity and responsiveness: factors affecting IGF-1 response to growth hormone

In endocrinology dynamic testing forms an essential part of investigation. To assess the central capacity of the GH-lGF-1 axis there is extensive experience in paediatric and adult populations of numerous physiological and pharmacological tests. However tests to assess the peripheral capacity of the...
