Abstract
No metabolic side-effects of clinical significance have been reported during a 5-year study of growth hormone (GH) therapy in children with GH deficiency, Turner syn drome, idiopathic short stature or chronic renal insufficiency. In particular, insulin levels increase but remain within the normal range, as do glucose and haemoglobin A(1c). A recent study showed that the effects of growth on insulin sensitivity in prepubertal children with idiopathic short stature represent the changes in carbohydrate tolerance observedduring normal adolescence. Thus, GH treatment may lead to prolongation of the physiological state of insulin resistance observed in normal puberty. Insulin levels during the fasting state and 2 h after a standard glucose load showed no further rise after the first 3 years of continuous GH therapy. The hyperinsulinaemia observed during GH therapy may, therefore, amplify the anabolic effects of insulin on protein metabolism during puberty. Copyright (C) 2000 S. Karger AG, Basel.
