[Features of tolerance of somatotropic hormone to insulin in progressive muscular dystrophy].
Thirty-two patients with primary forms of progressive muscular dystrophies (PMD) and denervational amyotrophies were examined. The basal blood levels of somatotrophic hormone (STH) were significantly decreased in the majority of PMD forms. The insulin test showed quantitatively different types of reactions of STH in denervational amyotrophies versus primary myodystrophies.
