Growth hormone: a potential treatment option in diabetes?
Growth hormone: a potential treatment option in diabetes?
Despite major fluctuations in supply and demand, sophisticated mechanisms in the body maintain levels of blood sugar(glucose) within narrow limits. Although under normal conditions, insulin is the major regulator of blood glucose levels, growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) play an important contributory role. Both of these hormones have potent effects on glucose metabolism which may be utilized in diabetes management. Richard Holt explains the growing interest in exploiting the effects of GH and IGF-1 for people with diabetes.

Abstract
Despite major fluctuations in supply and demand, sophisticated mechanisms in the body maintain levels of blood sugar(glucose) within narrow limits. Although under normal conditions, insulin is the major regulator of blood glucose levels, growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) play an important contributory role. Both of these hormones have potent effects on glucose metabolism which may be utilized in diabetes management. Richard Holt explains the growing interest in exploiting the effects of GH and IGF-1 for people with diabetes.
