Her gigantism is due to a tumor in her pituitary gland.(她的巨人癥是由腦垂體腫瘤引起的。)

But other than rare mutations that result in dwarfism or gigantism, scientists have had little success identifying genes that govern stature.(但除了那些能導致侏儒癥和巨人癥的基因突變，科學家們很難確定導致正常人身高差異的具體基因片斷。)

Interestingly, the island rule is overturned for small mammals such as rodents, for which gigantism is favored under insular conditions.(有趣的是，對于嚙齒動物這樣的小型哺乳動物來說，島嶼法則被推翻了，因為在島狀環境下，巨大的體型是最受歡迎的。)

The military-industrial complex battens off the gigantism of advanced technology;(軍事-工業聯合體進一步強化了先進技術的復雜度；)

On top of this, he is soon due to fly to a Paris convention where he will meet others with gigantism, including the tallest man in the world, Sultan K?sen from Turkey.(除此之外，他不久將飛往巴黎參加一個眾多巨人參與的會議，那里他還會遇到世界第一高的來自土耳其的蘇爾坦·科森。)

Excessive production causes gigantism, acromegaly, or other malformations; deficient production results in dwarfism, dramatically relieved if GH is given before puberty.(生產過量時會導致巨人癥、肢端肥大癥或其它畸形，生產不足時會造成侏儒癥，而在青春期以前給予生長激素，會戲劇性痊愈。)

In children who are still growing, too much growth hormone can cause a condition called gigantism that leads to an abnormal increase in height as well as excess bone growth.(在生長發育期的兒童，過多的生長激素可導致稱為巨人癥的疾病，表現為身材異常高大，同時伴有過度骨生長。)

The study was constructed to provide more insight into the effects a hyperoxic environment — like the kind our planet enjoyed in the late Paleozoic — might have had on animal gigantism.(開展這項研究是為了進一步掌握高氧環境(類似地球在古生代晚期的環境)對動物體型巨大產生的影響。)

The implacable proof of gigantism invites viewers to immerse themselves in the world of the media and its images.(這種不容置疑的巨人癥使觀眾被浸沒在媒體和圖像的世界之中。)

Interestingly, the island rule is reversed for small mammals such as rodents, for which gigantism is favored under insular conditions.(有趣的是，對于小型哺乳動物，如嚙齒類動物，島嶼規則是相反的，因為在島狀條件下，巨頭主義是有利的。)
