Abstract
Growth hormone assays were performed before and after androgen administration in a 12-year-old boy with unexplained growth retardation. A subnormal growth hormone secretion in response to a standard hypoglycemic stimulus was demonstrated, and it was corrected by androgen pretreatment. After that, a normal serum growth hormone level and a temporary growth spurt were demonstrated.Entities:
