Somatomedin activity in cerebrospinal fluid.
Somatomedin activity has been demonstrated in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of 12 normal subjects and one patient with acromegaly. In all cases the concentration was lower in the CSF than in the corresponding serum, and a significant correlation was demonstrated between the somatomedin activity in the two body fluids (p smaller than 0.01).
