Effect of surgical stress on pituitary-testicular function.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Growth deficiency is commonly seen in polytransfused beta-thalassaemia patients, especially in adolescence. It is not completely dependent on the lack of their pubertal growth spurt. GH impairment at different levels (hypothalamic or pituitary) and/or a reduced IGF-1 synthesis have been suggested the main cau...
