1 In patients receiving more than 5 mg of prednisone daily, growth hormone levels were lower than normal (less than 10 ng/ml). Prednisone growth hormone 1 Homo sapiens
2 In 4 pubescent children with growth retardation and need for maintenance prednisone, accelerated growth occurred following growth hormone administration for 3-6 months. Prednisone growth hormone 1 Homo sapiens
3 Based on these data we suggest that (1) discontinuation of even very small doses of prednisone may be essential for normalizing growth hormone response to L-dopa and (2) further studies are needed to exploit the growth stimulation effect of recombinant growth hormone in transplanted children. Prednisone growth hormone 1 Homo sapiens
