Ghrelin plasma levels in patients with idiopathic short stature.

Hormone research in paediatrics - 1 Feb 2011

Iñiguez Germán, Román Rossana, Youlton Ronald, Cassorla Fernando, Mericq Verónica

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Novel molecular insights have suggested that ghrelin may be involved in the pathogenesis of some forms of short stature. Recently, growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR) mutations that segregate with short stature have been reported. AIM: To study plasma ghrelin levels in prepubertal patients with idiopathic short stature (ISS). METHODS: Fasting total plasma ghrelin levels (radioimmunoassay) in...
