| Abstract | We evaluated the TSH secretory pattern and free T4 in 10 prepubertal children with short stature, normal response to GH provocative tests, and reduced GH integrated concentration (IC-GH) (GH neurosecretory dysfunction). Although their nadir TSH, peak TSH, TSH surge, and free T4 were lower than those of 12 children with short stature and normal IC-GH, none of the differences reached statistical significance. Thus, our results suggest that children with low IC-GH (GH neurosecretory dysfunction) exhibit a TSH secretory pattern and thyroid function similar to those with normal IC-GH. |
