“…A general shortcoming of previous human in vivo studies is that AT biopsies were obtained shortly after GH exposure, which may not appropriately capture changes in gene and protein expression [8], [11], [23], [25], [26], and several studies have included only a single AT biopsy after GH exposure [8], [10], [23], [25], [26]. Therefore, in the present study, we obtained multiple AT biopsies in nine obese but otherwise healthy, human subjects before and 60, 180, and 300 min following a single GH bolus to encompass the temporal effect of GH on the expression of lipolytic regulators.…”
