Biochemical and hormonal changes induced by one week of administration of rIGF-I to patients with Laron type dwarfism.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Identification of the novel endocrine role of osteocalcin (OC) and its receptor GPRC6A has given rise to a new branch of research in OC/GPRC6A axis related to glucose metabolism. GPRC6A- and OC-deficient mice share features of the metabolic syndrome, in addition to male infertility. Recently, the polymorphism...
