Glycemia and plasma IRI level after tolbutamide in hyposomatrophic dwarfs treated with HGH. 1976

E Soltysik-Wilk, and M Rybak, and W Golda

The insulinogenic function of the pancreatic islets was assessed by the use of tolbutamide stimulation in 25 children with hyposomatotrophic dwarfism (HSD). The authors suggest that the low insulin release and/or synthesis is responsible for slight growth response of these children to HGH treatment. There may also be a causative relation between this low insulin response and the tendency of children with HSD to develop diabetes after HGH treatment.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).
