Summary

This study looked at whether a blood test for a substance called ADMA can help measure blood vessel health in children with growth hormone deficiency or those who were small at birth. Researchers compared ADMA levels to ultrasound measurements of artery widening in 23 children. The goal was to find a simpler way to detect early blood vessel problems in these children.
