Growth Hormone Binding Protein, Insulin-like Growth Factor-I and Short Stature in Two Pygmy Populations from the Philippines

1 Jan 2002

Abstract excerpt

The molecular basis and biochemical mediators of genetic growth propensity and adult height achievement in the general population are largely unknown. Pygmies represent one extreme of the height spectrum that may provide important clues regarding this issue. Previous studies in pygmies from Africa and Papua-New Guinea have shown decreased serum levels of growth hormone binding protein (GHBP), the circulating...
