Abstract
Although children with ATH do not have significant growth retardation, their growth rate is slower. Increase in weight and IGF-1 levels followed by the increase in height leads to an acceleration in growth rate after A&T. These results have led to the conclusion that either the levels or effect of growth hormone (GH) increase following A&T.
