Whole-body insulin sensitivity rather than body-mass-index determines fasting and post-glucose-load growth hormone concentrations.

Whole-body insulin sensitivity rather than body-mass-index determines fasting and post-glucose-load growth hormone concentrations.

Obese, non-acromegalic persons show lower growth hormone (GH) concentrations at fasting and reduced GH nadir during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). However, this finding has never been studied with regard to whole-body insulin-sensitivity as a possible regulator.In this retrospective analysis...
