Is the IGF-I response to growth hormone related to body mass index in short children with normal weight?
BMI modulates the IGF-I response to GH, suggesting that GH sensitivity may be influenced by the nutritional status in children with ISS and normal body weight.
Although the present study chose a liberal threshold and needs subsequent confirmation, the findings suggest that striatal disruption resulting in abnormal processing in the corticobasal ganglia circuit may contribute to cognitive slowing in Parkinson disease, as is the case in motor slowing.
