THE EVALUATION OF CLONIDINE, INSULIN, L- DOPA, EXERCISE TESTS ON GROWTH HORMONE IN SHORT CHILDREN

Abstract

Growth hormone stimulation tests have been used to assess the growth hormone reserve of the pituitary gland in both children and adults. We have assessed the effect of clonidine, insulin, L-Dopa and exercise on growth hormone secretion in 261 short children. The" results found in this study revealed that there are no significant differences in these stimulation tests (P=0.28) .
