Glucagon, insulin and growth hormone response in obese women.
Plasma concentrations of insulin, growth hormone and glucagon were measured during an arginine test in obese women with normal (ON) or abnormal (OD) OGTT and in normal control subjects (N). Plasma insulin levels were higher than normal in both obese groups, while plasma growth hormone and glucagon levels were markedly reduced.
