Effect of lipids on growth hormone secretion in humans

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

To determine the effect of elevations of plasma lipids on growth hormone secretion in humans, paired insulin hypoglycemia tests and paired arginine infusion tests were performed on eight and six normal female volunteers respectively. On 1 of the 2 test days for each growth hormone stimulus, subjects were given 60 g corn oil (Lipomul) 3 hr before testing followed by intravenous heparin (5000 U) at the time of insulin or arginine administration.
