A member asked:
Studies have shown that letrozole delay growth plates closure in boys. can girls get the same results?

Not a large number: of studies using this Aromatase Inhibitor alone to delay puberty are avalable. Ultimate fusion of the growth plates is estrogen-dependent in boys & girls, so it may help slow down epiphysial maturation & allow greater height potential in any teen with short stature, but significant side effects can occur. Contact Dr.Mitchell E. Geffner at the Saban Research Institute, CHLA, LA, CA, for more info
