Normal growth during childhood and adolescence is a complex process which requires the participation of a number of hormones and growth factors. Sm-C/IGF-I plays a central role in this process, with variations in both its serum concentration and the cellular responsiveness to it being important mechanisms regulating growth.
儿童和青少年时期的正常生长是一个复杂的过程，需要多种激素和生长因子的参与。生长抑素C/胰岛素样生长因子-I（Sm-C/IGF-I）在这一过程中发挥着核心作用，其血清浓度的变化以及细胞对它的反应性都是调节生长的重要机制。
