Cirrhosis is characterized by paradoxical growth hormone secretion in response to glucose and insulin infusion. To ascertain whether this abnormality contributes to insulin resistance, euglycemic hyperinsulinemic glucose clamps were performed on six patients with cirrhosis and six normal control sub

Insulin-like growth factor I1 is believed to play an important role in fetal growth and development. The insulin-like growth factor I1 gene expression is tissue specific and developmentally regulated. We have previously shown an enhanced level of insulin-like growth factor I1 messenger RNA and prote
## Studies have demonstrated the presence of epidermal growth factor receptors in human parathyroid tumors. However, there is little information on the effect of other peptide growth factors on parathyroid cell growth. We therefore studied the interaction of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) wi
