Abstract
In this review we present a personal overview of current research at different levels of the control cascade that regulates growth hormone and insulin-like growth factors, the primary endocrine regulators of post-natal growth and metabolism. Given the broad scope of this topic we have focused on only a few key areas of current interest.
