Correlation between umbilical cord concentration of the growth hormone‐IGF axis and small for gestational age: A single‐center retrospective, observational study
Levels of IGF-1 and GH in the GH-IGF system are associated with SGA. Elevated GH levels and decreased IGF-1 levels both increase the incidence of SGA. Imbalance in the GH-IGF-1 axis may restrict fetal growth and development, thereby increasing the risk of future metabolic diseases.
