- Abstract
The article offers insights on a study on the impact of weight loss on free insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I in obese women with hyposomatotropism. According to the findings of previous studies, the decreased spontaneous growth hormone (GH) secretion examined in obesity is restored to normal after weight loss. The obese subjects were engaged in a weight loss program to reach ideal body weight. Characteristics of obese and non-obese women who participated in the research are described.
