Explain the Hyposecretion during Childhood
Hyposecretion during childhood: Due to deficiency of growth hormone or its receptors, stunted growth of the skeleton and organs occur with resultant dwarfism. Pituitary dwarfs are the individuals with stunted growth but normal physical and mental abilities. There is another type (Lorain type), where growth hormone level is normal but its receptors are deficient. Such dwarfs do not respond to growth hormone treatment.
