A link between the pituitary gland and glucose metabolism was originally observed by
Houssay [1], who recorded increased sensitivity to insulin in hypophysectomized animals …

Growth hormone (GH), a master regulator of somatic growth, also regulates carbohydrate
and lipid metabolism via complex interactions with insulin and insulin-like growth factor-1 …

This review will summarize the metabolic effects of growth hormone (GH) on the adipose
tissue, liver, and skeletal muscle with focus on lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. The …

Growth hormone (GH) counteracts in general the effects of insulin on glucose and lipid
metabolism, but shares protein anabolic properties with insulin. Under physiological …

Context: Fasting is associated with suppressed insulin and augmented GH secretion. The
involvement of each mechanism in the regulation of fuel mobilization during fasting is …

Growth hormone (GH) is important for promotion of somatic growth and the regulation of
substrate metabolism. Metabolic action of GH occurs in multiple tissues including the liver …

Throughout history starvation has been a major threat to survival of the human species. Most
inhabitants of the Western world are not accustomed to shortage of food but hunger remains …

The acute effects of a single GH pulse have previously been studied in young males. It is,
however, likely that both the metabolic effects and the pharmacokinetics of GH may differ …
