| Abstract: | Six hypercholesterolemic and five normocholesterolemic subjects were injected twice daily with human growth hormone for 7 days. During HGH administration, the average serum cholesterol of both types of subjects fell significantly, and their serum triglyceride levels increased. Peak insulin responses to glucose also increased. However, no change occurred in the serum phospholipid, FFA, cortisol, or thyroxine concentrations during HGH treatment. |
