CONTEXT: GH and IGF-I are crucial for attainment of normal body size and regulation of food intake, nutrients storage, and insulin sensitivity. Enteroendocrine connections exist between the GH/IGF-I axis and insulin, ghrelin, and glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1). The status of these connections in GH deficiency (GHD) is unknown. OBJECTIVE: To study the enteroendocrine connections before and after a standard meal test in a homogeneous population of adults with congenital untreated isolated GHD (IGHD) due to a mutation in the GHRH receptor gene. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In a cross-sectional study of 20 IGHD and 20 controls, we measured glucose, insulin, ghrelin, and GLP-1 before and 30, 60, 120 and 180 min after a standardized test meal. HOMA-...
