Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: The GH/IGF-I axis has major impact on insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion. Recently a polymorphism in the GH receptor gene (GHR), a genomic deletion of exon 3 (GHRd3), has been linked to increased responsiveness to GH. OBJECTIVE: The objective of the present study was to evaluate the impact of the GHRd3 gene polymorphism on insulin sensitivity, insulin secretion, lipids, and IGF-I levels in healthy...
