1 Ovarian morphology and function during growth hormone therapy of short girls born small for gestational age  Jeanette Tinggaard, M.D., Rikke Beck Jensen, M.D., Ph.D., Karin Sundberg, D.M.Sc., Niels Birkebæk, M.D., Ph.D., Peter Christiansen, M.D., Annie Ellermann, M.D., Kirsten Holm, M.D., Ph.D., Eva Mosfeldt Jeppesen, M.D., Ph.D., Britta Kremke, M.D., Pawel Marcinski, M.D., Ph.D., Carsten Pedersen, M.D., Nina Saurbrey, M.D., Ebbe Thisted, M.D., Katharina M. Main, M.D., Ph.D., Anders Juul, D.M.Sc., Ph.D.  Fertility and Sterility  Volume 102, Issue 6, Pages (December 2014) DOI: /j.fertnstert Copyright © 2014 American Society for Reproductive Medicine Terms and Conditions

2 Figure 1 Circulating serum levels of IGF-I (top) and IGFBP-3 (bottom) according to age during GH therapy in 18 short prepubertal SGA girls. Blue lines represent high-dose regimen (67 μg/kg/day); red lines represent low-dose regimen (35 μg/kg/day); and green lines represent IGF-I-titrated regimen. Solid black lines represent mean ±2 SD. Dotted black lines represent the lowest detection limit (20). GH = growth hormone; IGF = insulin-like growth factor; IGFBP = insulin-like growth factor binding protein; SGA = small for gestational age.

3 Figure 2 Circulating serum levels of FSH, LH, estradiol, AMH, Inhibin A, Inhibin B, testosterone, and SHBG according to age during GH therapy in 18 short, prepubertal, SGA girls. Solid blue lines represent mean ±2 SD and dotted black lines represent detection limit (15–19). One girl who presented with precocious puberty is highlighted in pink with filled squares before and blank squares after treatment with a GnRH agonist. AMH = anti-Müllerian hormone; FSH = follicle-stimulating hormone; GH = growth hormone; GnRH = gonadotropin-releasing hormone; LH = luteinizing hormone; SGA = small for gestational age; SHBG = sex hormone binding globulin.

4 Figure 3 Volume of uterus (top), ovaries (middle), and follicular size (bottom) according to age during GH therapy in 18 short, prepubertal, SGA girls. Solid blue lines represent mean ± 2 SD; dotted blue lines represent ±1 SD (21). One girl who presented with precocious puberty is highlighted in pink with filled squares before and blank squares after treatment with a GnRH agonist. GH = growth hormone; GnRH = gonadotropin-releasing hormone; SGA = small for gestational age.
