Abstract

The mechanism of linear growth reduction during GnRHa treatment in central precocious puberty has not been elucidated.

Highlights

  • The mechanism of linear growth reduction during GnRHa treatment in central precocious puberty has not been elucidated

  • Aim To investigate the pattern of serum amino-terminal proC-type natriuretic peptide (NT proCNP) in healthy girls throughout puberty, and the changes of serum NT proCNP in girls with idiopathic central precocious puberty (ICPP) before and during gonadotropin-releasing hormone analog(GnRHa) therapy

  • Linear growth reduction in girls with ICPP treated with GnRHa is due at least in part to decreased CNP mediated long bone growth after estrogen inhibition
