Abstract

This article examines the affects of the rhythm of maturation on the duration and intensity of height growth during puberty among both girls and boys, using longitudinal clinical follow-ups. Results found that late maturers were taller than early ones during puberty, but final height depending on age of onset did not differ in either sex.

Abstract

We evaluated the effect of ornithine ketoglutarate (OKG) in reversing abnormal growth in six prepubertal children receiving total parenteral nutrition (TPN) for 5 - 10 y. They were 1-4 SDs below their expected 50th percentile for height. The energy and nitrogen intakes were unchanged from 8 mo before the beginning of the study until its completion. Two consecutive periods of 5 mo each were studied. OKG (15 g) was added to the parenteral solution during the first period (OKG +) but not during the second period (OKG-). Height velocity (HV) increased (P > 0.05) from a median of 3.8 cm/y to 6.45 cm/y (range 1.8-6.7) during the (OKG +) period, and decreased (P < 0.05 to a median of 3.65 cm/y in the (OKG) period. Plasma concentrations of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1), glutamine, and glutamate increased (P < 0.05) during the (OKG) period. Variations of IGF1 concentrations correlated with HV variations (r = 0.82, P < 0.005) during both periods. This study demonstrates that OKG is associated with statural growth acceleration and increased IGF1 concentrations. Am J Clin Nutr 1994;60:408-13.
