Based primarily on IGF-I and IGFBP-3 levels our data suggest that a GH replacement dose in young GH deficient adults in the order of 1-2 IU/m2 per day is adequate. This is a relatively low dose as compared to dose regimens in children and adolescents.
Nasally administered GH is absorbed to a significant degree from the nasal mucosa without obvious untoward effects in the short term. These data encourage further studies with nasal GH administration.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
