Obesity, Short Stature
Free Fatty Acids, Body Weight, and Growth Hormones Secretion in Children
Background: Overweight and obese children and adults often have lower levels of growth hormone in the blood. Regulation of growth hormone may be tied to weight and free fatty acids in the blood.
- Conditions
- Obesity, Short Stature, Growth Hormone Deficiency
- Trial name
- NCT01237041
- Testing
- Niacin First, Dose-Establishing Study 1 Niacin 250mg, Dose-Establishing Study 1 Niacin 500mg
- Where
- United States
- Volunteers
- 37 people, healthy volunteers welcome
