Diagnostic significance of urinary growth hormone measurements in children with growth failure: correlation between serum and urine growth hormone.

abstract：:In this study we examined the body composition at onset of puberty in intrauterine growth retarded (IUGR), postnatal food restricted (FR), and control male and female rats. IUGR was induced by ligation of the uterine artery on d 17 of gestation and FR by litter enlargement to 20 pups per mother from d 2 after birth un...
