Altered GH-IGF-1 axis in severe obese subjects is reversed after bariatric surgery-induced weight loss and related with low-grade chronic inflammation
(MDPI, 2020-08-12)
[Abstract] Endocrine disorders are common in obesity, including altered somatotropic axis. Obesity is characterized by reduced growth hormone (GH) secretion, although the insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) values are ...
Oral glucose-stimulated growth hormone (GH) test in adult GH deficiency patients and controls: potential utility of a novel test
(Elsevier, 2017-06-09)
[Abstract] Context. The diagnosis of adult GH deficiency requires confirmation with a GH stimulation test. Oral glucose (OG) administration affects GH secretion, initially decreasing and subsequently stimulating GH ...
Sexual dimorphism on growth hormone secretion after oral glucose administration
(Thieme, 2012-02-16)
[Abstract] Sexual dimorphism of GH secretion is unclear in humans. There is evidence that oral glucose (OG) administration initially decreases and subsequently stimulates GH secretion. Our aim was to study fasting GH ...
Growth hormone, ghrelin and peptide YY secretion after oral glucose administration in healthy and obese women
(Thieme, 2011-06-10)
[Abstract] The mechanism of the altered GH secretion in obesity is unclear. There is evidence that oral glucose (OG) administration initially decreases and subsequently stimulates GH secretion. Ghrelin is a peptide that ...
