Abstract
Objective
This study was aimed to systematically determine the effect of exercise combined with lysine-inositol vitamin B12 (VB12) therapy on the height of children with idiopathic short stature (ISS).
Methods
Sixty children with ISS were randomly divided into observation and control groups (N = 30). Each group was given lysine-inositol VB12 oral solution (10 mL bid). Simultaneously, the observation group exercised following the “ISS exercise instruction sheet”. The height (H), growth velocity (GV), height standard deviation score (HtSDS) and other indicators were compared after 6 and 12 months of intervention, respectively. After 12 months of intervention, the biochemical indicators of the two groups, together with the correlation between the average days of exercise per week and average minutes of exercise per day, GV and serum growth hormone were analyzed.
Results
After 6 and 12 months of treatment, the GV, serum GHRH, GHBP, GH, IGF-1, and IGFBP-3 levels in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group, and HtSDS was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.01). After 12 months of treatment, the height of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the biochemical indicators between two groups (P>0.05). Average days of exercise per week and average minutes of exercise per day were positively correlated with GV and GHBP levels. Serum GHRH, GH, IGF-1, and IGFBP-3 levels were negatively correlated. Average minutes of exercise per day were negatively correlated with GV and GHBP levels. Serum GHRH, GH, IGF-1, and IGFBP-3 levels were positively correlated.
Conclusion
Regular and moderate stretching exercises combined with lysine-inositol VB12 can effectively promote height growth of children with ISS, which is clinically safe. The mechanism promotes serum GHRH, GHBP, GH, IGF-1, and IGFBP-3 levels.
期刊介绍：
Growth Hormone & IGF Research is a forum for research on the regulation of growth and metabolism in humans, animals, tissues and cells. It publishes articles on all aspects of growth-promoting and growth-inhibiting hormones and factors, with particular emphasis on insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) and growth hormone. This reflects the increasing importance of growth hormone and IGFs in clinical medicine and in the treatment of diseases.
