Abstract Our two patients with lysinuric protein intolerance, a 14-year-old boy and his 12-year-old sister, showed growth retardation and their bone ages were retarded. Growth hormone secretion responded to glucagon-propranolol and showed a good response to arginine. However, growth hormone showed little response to insulin. After the oral administration of arginine hydrochloride, growth hormone showed a good response to insulin and glucagon-propranolol, and gain in height and weight accelerated. This result may suggest that an adequate supply of arginine is effective in improving the growth retardation in lysinuric protein intolerance.
