abstract：BACKGROUND:Growth hormone (GH) resistance in CKD is partly due to increased expression of SOCS2, a GH signaling negative regulator. In SOCS2 absence, body growth is exaggerated. However, GH overexpression in mice causes glomerulosclerosis. Accordingly, we tested whether lack of SOCS2 improves body growth, but accelerat...
