due to contaminating substances has not been definitely ruled out, and 

 the availability of purer preparations will do much toward this end. 

 Ultimately, however, an understanding of the mechanism of action of 

 growth hormone is dependent upon an understanding of growth and 

 the great complexities that this term implies.
