Hypoglycemic Threshold for Human Growth Hormone Release

Seymour M. Glick

Open publisher page 36 citations

Abstract

Plasma human growth hormone (HGH) was measured in 11 subjects given low doses of insulin. Significant elevations of plasma HGH, temporally related to the stimuli, were seen only with significant decreases in blood glucose. The threshold for release of HGH was a fall of blood glucose of between 20 and 30 mg/100 ml, which was not associated with subjective manifestations of stress.
