Why do normal children have acromegalic levels of IGF-I during puberty?

CONCLUSION: We suggest that serum levels of IGF-I should be watched in children with poor development of sexual organs, although it remains to be investigated whether GH in some cases should be added to sex steroids in management of hypogonadism in pubertal children, e.g. in boys with micro-penis.
