[Comparison of the blood levels of insulin and growth hormone in healthy adolescents, adolescents with excessive weight and with hereditary loading with regard to diabetes mellitus].
Changes in insulin and growth hormone secretion were studied in 112 children and adolescents (50 healthy ones, 40 with excessive weight, and 22 with heredity aggravated by diabetes mellitus). Three types of these changes were distinguished in healthy adolescents: normoreactive, hyperreactive, and inert. The same type of growth hormone secretion changes corresponded to each type of insulin secretion changes. There was revealed a negative correlation between the insulin and growth hormone levels in the group of healthy adolescents. Dynamic relation was noted between the indices of the mentioned hormones in the course of the test: it was stronger during the ascending than during the descending phase of the test. Glucose load proved to change the correlation between the hormones level. In the group of healthy adolescents correlation between the insulin and the growth hormone levels was greater before carbohydrate load than after it. In case of excessive weight or heredity aggravated by diabetes mellitus glucose load disturbed the correlation between the hormones: when a negative correlation existed between the insulin and growth hormone levels before the load no correlation was revealed after in. This fact confirmed the role played by excessive carbohydrate consumption in the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus.
