In order to evaluate patients with suspected growth hormone (GH) deficiency. 2. In order to assess growth hormone reserve when insulin tolerance test or growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH)–arginine tests are contraindicated, not preferred, or not available.doi:10.1007/978-3-319-13048-4_11...
Objective:Verifying the association between glycemic fluctuation and GH response in the glucagon stimulation test. Basal evaluation of growth hormone (GH) has poor diagnostic accuracy due to its pulsatile secretion. GH-stimulation tests are used for an adequate evaluation of somatotrophic axis. Various...
Objective:The ITT is the gold-standard for assessment of GH and ACTH reserve but has certain contraindications. GH and cortisol responses of <3ng/ml and <500nmol/l, respectively, have been defined as evidence of deficiency. The GST like the ITT stimulates both the ACTH and GH secretion and...
Growth hormone release after glucagon as a reliable test of growth hormone assessment in adults Summaryobjective To investigate the GH response to glucagon in adult patients with GH deficiency and in controls compared with the GH response to the insul... JM Gómez,RM Espadero,F Escobar-Jiménez,...
The effect of hGH deficiency on the insulin response to glucagon after oral glucose loading Six children and adolescents (aged from 2 6/12 to 16 years) with isolated hGH deficiency were subjected to a standard oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) fo... Z Laron,M Mimouni,Z Josefsberg,......
Glucagon stimulation testAdult GH deficiencyDiagnosisAccuracySensibilitySpecificityThe clinical features of adult GH deficiency (GHD) are nonspecific, and its diagnosis is established through GH stimulation testing, which is often complex, expensive, time-consuming and may be associated with adverse side ...
A GH peak at a time other than 90 or 120 minutes may be a new important indicator of GH deficiency.David Strich and Nachum Terespolsky and David GillisThe Journal of PediatricsStrich D, Terespolsky N, Gillis D. Glucagon stimulation test for childhood growth hormone deficiency: timing of the...
Glucagon-stimulation testGHRH-arginine testPurpose Growth hormone deficiency (GHD) must be confirmed before starting treatment in adults with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS). Most studies use the growth-hormone-releasing hormone plus arginine (GHRH-arginine) test. No data are available on the glucagon ...

Glucagon stimulation testGrowth hormone deficiencyIntroduction:Children with a pituitary hormone deficiency are at risk for secondary adrenal insufficiency (AI). A stimulation test is usually performed for diagnosing AI, evaluating both the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) and growth hormone (GH)-IGF...
