clonidine and Dwarfism

clonidine has been researched along with Dwarfism in 9 studies

Clonidine: An imidazoline sympatholytic agent that stimulates ALPHA-2 ADRENERGIC RECEPTORS and central IMIDAZOLINE RECEPTORS. It is commonly used in the management of HYPERTENSION.
clonidine (amino form) : A clonidine that is 4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-amine in which one of the amino hydrogens is replaced by a 2,6-dichlorophenyl group.

Dwarfism: A genetic or pathological condition that is characterized by short stature and undersize. Abnormal skeletal growth usually results in an adult who is significantly below the average height.

"Serum growth hormone (GH) was determined in 15 children (three with normal height, one with pituitary dwarfism, and eleven with short stature without endocrinological disturb) after oral clonidine load of 0,15 mg/m2 S."3.66[Oral clonidine test for growth hormone release (author's transl)].
