However, in chronic critical illness, glutathione synthesis may be impaired by cysteine depletion, protein-energy malnutrition, hyperglycemia, pharmacological doses of glucocorticoids, and decreased anterior pituitary hormone secretion
Serum levels of IGF-I and IGFBP-3 were also measured, and stadiometer height measurements were recorded
Metabolic actions of insulin-like growth factor-I in normal physiology and diabetes
Glutathione reductase (GR) was quantified by using the procedure of Foster and Hess (1980)
