Effect of growth hormone on lymphocyte respiration and growth rate of children

Oxygen consumption by circulating lymphocytes of children with isolated growth hormone deficiency was studied before and 6 mo after the start of growth hormone therapy. A plot of percent change in respiration (oxygen consumed per mg protein or μg DNA) against height gain during the therapy showed a...

Zusammenfassung:	Oxygen consumption by circulating lymphocytes of children with isolated growth hormone deficiency was studied before and 6 mo after the start of growth hormone therapy. A plot of percent change in respiration (oxygen consumed per mg protein or μg DNA) against height gain during the therapy showed a linear association (correlation coefficient 0.667–0.756).
