Abstract
- The serum growth-hormone response to insulin-induced hypoglycemia has been measured in control subjects and patients with dwarfism of various causes. The normal response has been defined and applied to the assessment of growth-hormone function in patients with growth retardation. Definitive evaluation of growth-hormone responsiveness was possible in 58 of 59 patients with dwarfism.
