| Abstract | BACKGROUND: Recombinant human growth hormone (r-hGH) is increasingly being used in children. Although growth hormone (GH) may alter the clearance of concomitantly administered medications, its effects on individual drug-metabolizing enzymes in children have not been characterized. OBJECTIVE: The goal of this study was to assess the activities of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A2, N-acetyltransferase 2, xanthine oxidase, and CYP2D6 in children with isolated idiopathic GH deficiency before and 3 and 6 months after initiation of r-hGH treatment. METHODS: This 6-month, prospective, longitudinal, open-label phenotyping study was conducted at 4 academic tertiary care centers within the Pediatric Pharmacology Research Unit network. Prepubertal or early pubertal children (4-14 years) with short stature and isolated idiopathic GH deficiency were enrolled. Patients were given 4 ounces of a cola beverage and 0.5 mg/kg of dextromethorphan (DM) before and 3 and 6 months after initiation of r-hGH treatment. Urine was collected for 8 hours after probe substrate administration, and enzyme activity was assessed using validatedcaffeine/metaboliteandDM/metabolitemolar ratios. Patients with a DM/dextrorphan molar ratio > or =0.3 were classified as poor metabolizers, and those with a ratio <0.3 were classified as extensive metabolizers. Anthropometric and biochemical responses were assessed at each visit. Blood was also obtained for determination of serum insulinlike growth factor-1 (IGF-1) levels and CYP2D6 genotype. RESULTS: Fourteen patients (mean [SD] age, 11.5 [2.6] years [age range, 4.5-14.6 years]; 11 males, 3 females; 100% white; median height and weight, 131.8 cm and 29.2 kg, respectively) completed the 3 study visits. However, data from 2 patients were excluded from analysis due to procedural violations. In all patients, growth velocity and serum IGF-1 concentrations were significantly higher (P < 0.001) after r-hGH treatment (mean doses, 0.32 and 0.33 mg/kg per week at 3 and 6 months, respectively). However, molar ratio values did not significantly change after initiation of r-hGH. CONCLUSIONS: In this study population of children with isolated idiopathic GH deficiency, no significant differences in caffeine/metabolite and DM/metabolite molar ratios were observed after initiation of r-hGH treatment. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
