Plasma IGFBP-3 and its relationship with quantitative growth hormone secretion in short children.

abstract：BACKGROUND:A GH deficiency-like phenotype with normal or high hGH secretion, pathologically low IGF-I serum levels, and catch-up growth under treatment with recombinant hGH is suggestive of the presence of biologically inactive hGH syndrome, whose presumably heterogenous molecular basis is substantially unknown. DESIG...
