[Bioelectric activity of the brain in insulin-induced hypoglycemia in children with growth deficiency].
The somatotropin levels during insulin-induced hypoglycemia was assessed in 30 children with growth deficiency. The variation of glycemia and somatotropin activity were evaluated during 120-minutes recording of the bioelectric activity of the brain. In 90% of children generalized and paroxysmal abnormalities were found during insulin-induced hypoglycemia. The exacerbation of them was correlated with the maximal decrease of the glucose level. Early appearance of the abnormal EEG findings after the administration of insulin and the significant intensity of them was more common in younger children with marked growth deficiency and low somatotropin activity.
