Popis: | Many factors have been invoked for the cause of pubertal IR, including GH, SS, and increasing adiposity. To determine the respective roles of GH and SS in mediating IR, we studied 24 boys with delayed puberty before and after random assignment to one of 4 research groups: Control (Ctrl), Testosterone (T) Rx, GH Rx, GH + T Rx. We quantitated the insulin sensitivity index (IS) via the mininal model approach. GH was measured Q 20 min from 2000 through 0600 via the Hybritech assay. |
