Why is it important?
this article demonstrates that Changes in thyroid volume and insulin-like growth factor 1 in pre- and post-pubertal obese children.
Perspectives
here is a mutual dynamic interaction between thyroid volume (TV), insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), and body mass index (BMI). These covariates undergo a change with the transition into puberty. The heterogeneity of the variates and study populations complicate the evaluation of the role of pure pubertal effect. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of puberty on IGF-1 and TV in a predetermined homogenous population such as obese children.
