Abstract
Normal growth during childhood and adolescence is a complex process which requires the participation of a number of hormones and growth factors. Sm-C/IGF-I plays a central role in this process, with variations in both its serum concentration and the cellular responsiveness to it being important mechanisms regulating growth.Keywords
