Serum levels of total insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and IGF-binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3)
reflect endogenous GH secretion in healthy children, which makes them good diagnostic …

To evaluate the role of serum free or unbound insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) on bone
growth, we measured serum free IGF-I levels in 354 healthy children and adults (193 males …

Serum levels of total insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and IGF-binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3)
reflect the endogenous GH secretion in healthy children and exhibit little diurnal variation …

BACKGROUNDAlthough an insulin tolerance test (ITT) is the most commonly used method
for detecting growth hormone (GH) deficiency (GHD) in adults, measurements of serum …

Although serum insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) concentrations have utility as a screening
test for growth hormone (GH) deficiency in children and young adults, they are less accurate …

Measurement of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) levels is used during the assessment of a
child for the presence of growth hormone (GH) deficiency and to monitor the efficacy of GH …

The measurement of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) has become an essential tool for
diagnosing growth hormone deficiency and acromegaly, as well as for monitoring the …

Serum insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) levels within normal range for age have been
reported to be common in adults with GH deficiency (GHD). Therefore, serum IGF-I levels …

Plasma insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-I) concentrations are regulated by genetic factors,
