摘要：

The action of oral diethylstilbestrol as a stimulus to growth hormone release was compared with that of intravenously administered arginine in 26 children with short stature. A similar elevation of growth hormone was found after the administration of each agent. It is suggested that diethylstilbestrol can be used as a preliminary screening test for growth hormone deficiency. © 1969 The C. V. Mosby Company.
