Decrease in adiponectin levels correlates to growth response in growth hormone-treated children

, 2009
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Adiponectin is secreted by adipose tissue and circulates in human plasma at high levels. Decreased adiponectin levels are associated with insulin resistance and obesity.

Immunofunctional assay of human growth hormone (hGH) in serum: A possible consensus for quantitative hGH measurement [PDF]

, 1996
Confirmation of the diagnosis of GH deficiency in adults and children involves provocative testing for human (h) GH. Different commercially available immunoassays yield largely discrepant results in the measurement of GH levels in human serum.
