Regulation of growth hormone secretion. Relevance to the pediatrician
Pediatrician.
1987.
Abstract
The regulation of human growth hormone secretion is complex involving both a hypothalamic stimulating and inhibiting hormone. These neurohormones are further regulated by neurotransmitters. Abnormalities in growth hormone secretion may occur in neurologic, psychiatric and metabolic disorders not related to short stature. In addition, the diagnosis of deficiency states of growth hormone secretion can often be very difficult. Guidelines for the work-up of short children are given.
