NCT ID NCT04020913

Summary

This study looked at how growth hormone treatment affects muscle strength, body composition, and metabolism in short pre-pubertal boys. Researchers followed 45 boys (30 with short stature and 15 normal height) for 12 months, measuring muscle function before and during treatment. The goal was to understand benefits beyond just height growth, comparing treated boys to normally growing peers.
