[Changes in IGFBP-3 in relation to administration of rGH to deficient children].
Serum IGFBP3 levels were tested in 7 GHD children before the rGH therapy, at the end of the same therapy and 1, 2, 4, and 8 weeks later. The IGFBP3 concentration returned to the pre-therapy levels only 6 weeks after the end of the therapy.
