[Somatotropic function of the adenohypophysis in juvenile (pubertal) goiter].

Abstract

Patients (86) with pubertal goiter were examined. There was an increase of the somatotropic function of the adenohypophysis. The functional acitivity of the thyroid gland is not disturbed. Observation results indicated that physiological thyroidin doses (0.03--0.05 g per 24 hours) were of expedience in pubertal goiter for the purpose of replacement therapy.
