Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in Levels of Insulin Like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-I) Following Recombinant Human (rh) IGF-1 Administration in Girls With Anorexia Nervosa

    Baseline and 7-10 days

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in Levels of N-terminal Propeptide of Type 1 Procollagen (P1NP) Following rhIGF-1 Administration in Girls With Anorexia Nervosa

    Baseline and 7-10 days

Study Arms (1)

Insulin like growth factor- 1 (IGF-1)

EXPERIMENTAL

Adolescent girls with AN meeting inclusion criteria were administered recombinant human (rh) rhIGF-1 at a dose of 35-40 mcg/k twice daily by subcutaneous injections for a 7-10 day period.

Drug: RhIGF-1

Interventions

35-40 mcg/k/dose twice daily SC
