Abstract：
OBJECTIVE:To assess the 24-h endogenous secretory growth hormone (GH) profile and serum insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) response to exogenous recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) in a patient with Werner's syndrome. DESIGN:Blood sampling every 20 min for 24 h followed by three daily injections of growth hormone. SETTING:General Clinical Research Center. PATIENTS:Single patient with Werner's syndrome. MEASUREMENTS:Serum GH and IGF-I. RESULTS:Growth hormone pulses were absent during the 24-h monitoring period. Likewise, integrated GH concentrations were very low at 0.25 mu min/mL, and no peaks occurred after sleep onset. Following single daily administration of rhGH, serum GH and IGF-I rose. CONCLUSIONS:Our findings support previous but less extensive studies suggesting patients with Werner's syndrome have reduced growth hormone levels. Preliminary investigations using rhGH in patients with Werner's syndrome should be considered.
