Growth Hormone Signaling in Vivo in Humans

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2006-04-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: Male

Summary

Objective: GH induces insulin resistance in muscle and fat and in vitro data indicate that this may involve crosstalk between the signaling pathways of the two hormones.

Aim: To investigate GH and insulin signaling in vivo in human muscle and fat tissue in response to GH, GH receptor blockade and insulin stimulation..
