| 1 | With cortisone plus GH therapy, fasting glycemia was improved (73 +/- 6 mg/dl) at 30 hours fasting and was associated with increased alanine and glutamine concentrations (206 +/- 28 muM and 448 +/- 40 muM, respectively) and less ketonemia (beta-hydroxybutyrate 1.13 +/- 0.39 mM). | Glutamine | growth hormone 1 | Homo sapiens |
| 2 | We suggest that the hypoglycemia observed in hypopituitary patients is a substrate-mediated phenomenon, and that cortisone and growth hormone replacement therapy improve fasting glucose homeostasis, increase circulating alanine and glutamine concentrations, and decrease hepatic gluconeogenesis. | Glutamine | growth hormone 1 | Homo sapiens |
