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 …

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

In a double-blind, cross-over, placebo-controlled trial, the effect of 26 weeks of replacement
therapy with recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) on insulin sensitivity and glucose …

The insulin and growth hormone (GH)/insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) axis are two
endocrine systems that are interlinked at many levels. GH is one of the glucose counter …

Pharmacological doses of GH are known to impair glucose tolerance. In the present study
we have employed the euglycemic insulin and hyperglycemic clamp techniques to examine …

In evolutionary terms, GH and intracellular STAT 5 signaling is a very old regulatory system.
Whereas insulin dominates periprandially, GH may be viewed as the primary anabolic …

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

The effect of 3 months of low dose (120 micrograms/kg. week or 0.24 IU/kg. week)
recombinant human GH (rhGH) treatment on glucose tolerance, insulin secretion, and …

Growth hormone (GH) research and its clinical application for the treatment of growth
disorders span more than a century. During the first half of the 20th century, clinical …

GH continues to be produced after the cessation of childhood growth and is the most
abundant pituitary hormone in the adult pituitary. There is strong evidence that GH continues …
