GROWTH HORMONE SUPPRESSION IN HEALTHY CHILDREN

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 我们正在研究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，这项研究涉及一次访问。这将有助于建立健康儿童生长激素抑制的标准化数据，并有助于诊断生长激素过剩的情况。目前还没有针对儿童的生长激素抑制标准。

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.
