Growth Hormone Signaling in Vivo in Humans
RandomizedCrossoverSingle-blindBasic science
Summary
Objective: GH induces insulin resistance in muscle and fat and in vitro data indicate that this may involve crosstalk between the signaling pathways of the two hormones. Aim: To investigate GH and insulin signaling in vivo in human muscle and fat tissue in response to GH, GH receptor blockade and insulin stimulation..
