[์˜๋ฌธ]Somatomedin-C, the insuline-like growth factor I is suggested to mediate the growth-promoting effect of growth hormone, Sm-C, mostly bound to plasma protein forming an IGF-I protein complex, is slowly cleared from plasma and thus its plasma concentration is quite constant. A single sampling of blood for Sm-C is sufficient for the measurement of its concentration. For the evaluation of growth hormone deficient and non-deficient dwarfs, measurements of plasma Sm-C may bea useful adjunct to assessment of growth hormone secretion. To determine the ๋Š-C reference ranges of the age- and sex-matched norms in Korea, plasma level of Sm-C/IGF-I were measured by specific radioimmunoassay in 186 childrens and adolescents between the ages of 7 and 20 yr. All subjects were in good health and between the 3rd and 97th percentiles for height using a standard growth chart. Pubertal stages were determind by the method of Tanner. The results were as follows; 1. The mean levels of plasma Sm-C gradually increased over the consecutive age groups and reached maximum at 13-l5yr of age in both males and females. 2. The mean levels of plasma Sm-C in females were significantly higher than those in males at all age groups except over 16 year of age. 3. The mean levels of plasma Sm-C reached maximum at 13yr in females and 14yr in males. 4, According to Tanner stage, the mean levels of plasma Sm-C reached maximum at Tanner stage 4 in both males and females. 5. The mean levels of plasma Sm-C in females were higher than those in males at al1 Tanner stage. In conclusion, our studies indicate that plasma Sm-C levels in normal children can be used as a reference value for the diagnosis of growth hormone deficiency and the response after growth hormone therapy.restrictio
