Abstract
Plasma transferrin is significantly positively correlated to the growth velocity in normal children and children with various growth disorders. In hypopituitary dwarfs, both plasma transferrin and somatomedin are significantly lower than in controls. Acute variations of the plasma transferrin levels could be involved in the regulation of the GH secretion by a feedback mechanism. Yet, transferrin is neither a somatomedin or a somatomedin-binding protein, and the mechanisms relating growth to transferrin remain unknown.
