GROWTH HORMONE SUPPRESSION IN HEALTHY CHILDREN

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。列出的机构是 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 我们正在研究一项涉及单次访视的研究中，年龄在9-17岁的健康女孩和男孩在口服葡萄糖负荷后生长激素抑制的程度。 这将有助于建立健康儿童生长激素抑制的规范性数据，并有助于诊断GH过量的情况。 生长激素抑制的标准目前还不存在的儿童。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. We are studying the extent of growth hormone suppression n healthy girls and boys, ages 9-17 years of age, following an oral glucose load, in a study involving a single visit. This will help establish normative data for growth hormone suppression in healthy children and will aid in the diagnosis of conditions of GH excess. Standards for growth hormone suppression do not currently exist for children.
