[Somatotropic hormone before and after treatment of microangiopathies in diabetes mellitus patients].
Patients (41) suffering from diabetes mellitus complicated by microangiopathies aged from 16 to 72 years were examined; diabetes of moderate severity was diagnosed in 20 patients (the I group), and severe-in 21 (the II group). Basic STH level after L-DOPA oral loading was studied in 60 and 90 minutes in all of these patients, and ti proved to be elevated in both groups.  Following L-DOPA loading the peak of increase in the first group was found on the 60th minute, and in the II group-on the 90th minute. Basic STH secretion diminished in 16 patients after anginin treatment; this could apparently be attributed to improvement in the function of the hypothalamohypophysial system.
