Decreased sensitivity to insulin-like growth factor I in Turner's syndrome: a study of monocytes and T lymphocytes.
Eur J Clin Invest
July 1997
Department of Pediatrics, Rambam Medical Center, Haifa, Israel.
Turner's syndrome is characterized, amongst other things, by growth retardation with high serum levels of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-I) in relation to growth, by a tendency to autoimmune disease and by insulin resistance with hyperlipidaemia. Assuming a role for IGF-I subresponsiveness in the last two features, the present study was designed to evaluate in patients with Turner's syndrome their monocyte/macrophage response to growth hormone (GH) and to IGF-I with respect to low-density lipoprotein (LDL) degradation and to the monocyte-dependent lymphocyte proliferation. Nineteen patients with Turner's syndrome and puberty-matched control subjects were studied.
