Abstract:
The peak level of growth hormone (GH) stimulated by insulin tolerance test (ITT) is thegold standard for diagnosis of growth hormone deficiency in adults.This study was aimed to explore the factors influencing GH response to ITT in 50 healthy adults.The results showed that the nadir or decreased amplitude of blood glucose was not related to GH peak level.In multivariable analysis,the GH level stimulated by ITT was negatively associated with body mass index(P＜0.01),but there was no any association with age,gender,and waist circumference.
