Official title
Recombinant Human Growth Hormone (GH): Effects on Metabolic Profile, Body Composition and Skeletal Muscle Strength and Function in Pre-pubertal Short Boys With and Without GH Deficiency
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The purpose of the study is to measure the functional effects of recombinant GH in skeletal muscle, in addition to growth promotion, in short prepubertal boys with either growth hormone deficiency or idiopathic short stature. Patients will be similarly short. The investigators will also compare these values in the short stature cohort to those obtained in testing performed in normally growing age-matched healthy control boys not on GH. The group on GH will be studied before and after 6 and 12 months of GH treatment.
