Nutropin’s Impact on Body Composition in American Males with Idiopathic Short Stature: A Longitudinal DXA Study
Reading Time: 3 minutes Introduction Idiopathic short stature (ISS) is a condition characterized by short stature that is not attributed to any identifiable cause, such as hormonal deficiencies or genetic disorders. For American males with ISS, the quest for effective treatment options remains a significant concern. Nutropin, a recombinant human growth hormone, has been utilized in clinical settings to address growth issues in this population. This article delves into a longitudinal study that employed dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) to assess Nutropin's effects on body composition in American males with ISS, providing valuable insights into its efficacy and implications for patient care.
