  5. 3. GH Secretion in children. Methodological aspects of determining immunoreactive and bioactive isoforms

    Author : Chatarina Löfqvist; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Growth hormone; immunoassay; cross-reactivity; standard; antibody; insulin-like growth factor 1; reference values;

    Abstract : A child's hormone-dependent growth is dependent on multiple factors, although linear growth is closely associated with levels of growth hormone (GH) secretion. As GH in serum exists in several isoforms, some of which may not be identified by immunoassay, possible alterations in the secretion of these different isoforms in childhood may influence growth and/or metabolism.
