The Decreased Growth Hormone Response to Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone in Obesity Is Associated to Cardiometabolic Risk Factors by Fernando Cordido, Jesús Garcia-Buela, Susana Sangiao-Alvarellos, Teresa Martinez, Ovidio Vidal

“…Peak GH secretion after stimulation was inversely associated with fasting insulin (R=−0.650, P=.012), HOMA-IR (R=−0.846, P=.001), total cholesterol (R=−0.532, P=.034), and LDL cholesterol (R=−0.692, P=.006) and positively associated with HDL cholesterol (R=0.561, P=.037). These data strongly suggest a role for insulin resistance in the decreased GH secretion of obesity and that the blunted GH secretion of central obesity could be the pituitary expression of the metabolic syndrome.…”
