Tanner stage 5 of puberty

upin humans1

1 study
  1. Tanner stage 5 of puberty increases 24-h integrated concentration of GH in humans (7.4 +/- 2.0 ng/ml vs 5.7 +/- 1.4 ng/ml).

    “The mean IC-GH at Tanner stage 5 of puberty (7.4 +/- 2.0 ng/ml) was higher than that at stages 2-4 (5.7 +/- 1.4; P less than 0.0005)”

Increasing age

1 study
  1. Increasing age decreases 24-h integrated concentration of GH in humans (r = 0.73; P less than 0.0001).

    “The level of IC-GH was strongly effected by age; children had the highest mean IC-GH, and there was a decline in IC-GH with increasing age after the second decade of life.”
