abstract: Following head injuries with various degrees of cerebral trauma increased STH-concentrations of plasma can be measured. Blood glucose values are elevated reflecting a diabetic metabolism lead to a suppressive effect of increased STH-blood levels. In general it can be stated, that a stress situation is followed by an increase of STH-secretion despite of elevated blood glucose concentrations. The reasons may be: 1. increased liberation of catecholamines, 2. an intracellular glucose deficit due to disturbed glucose utilisation, 3. alteration of regional blood flow after trauma.
