The Relationship between 24-Hour Growth Hormone Secretion and Insulin-Like Growth Factor I in Patients with Successfully Treated Acromegaly: Impact of Surgery or Radiotherapy Open
In patients with treated acromegaly, improved survival is associated with serum GH concentrations below 2 microgram/L (5 mU/L). A principal aim of therapy in acromegaly is to achieve a GH level less than 2 microgram/L, as such levels are t…

Thyroid hormone actions on cartilage and bone: interactions with other hormones at the epiphyseal plate and effects on linear growth Open
Normal linear growth is determined by variable contributions from genetic, nutritional and endocrine factors and continues until bone maturation and epiphyseal closure in early adulthood. The major systemic hormones that influence growth d…
