Growth hormone effects on carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in childhood.
The effects of recombinant growth hormone (GH) at therapeutic doses were investigated in GH-deficient and nondeficient children with short stature, with respect to glucose turnover and insulin sensitivity. In both groups of patients, these parameters were normal after 6-12 months of recombinant GH administration.
