We conclude that long-term GHRT induces a significant decrease of the increased insulin sensitivity in GHD patients to levels observed in body mass index-matched control subjects. This is accompanied by an increase in basal and total insulin secretion as well as in glucose effectiveness as a possible compensatory mechanism.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
