Brief Summary

Growth hormone (GH) and Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) secretion are altered in acromegaly and type 2 Diabetes Mellitis (DM). The secretion of GH is mediated by central hypothalamic hormones (GH Releasing Hormone and somatostatin) as well as peripheral factors providing feedback inhibition (IGF-I and glucose, among others). The purpose of this study is to compare growth hormone suppression after an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) to growth hormone suppression after recombinant human IGF-I (rhIGF-I) administration. This study will recruit participants with active acromegaly, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and healthy control subjects. Each participant will undergo a screening evaluation, and three subsequent visits. Each participant will receive a placebo subcutaneous injection, OGTT, and administration of rhIGF-I, on separate visit days. Glucose, insulin, GH, bioactive IGF-I and IGF-I binding proteins will be measured after each intervention. Results will be compared between the three groups. It is predicted that the administration of rhIGF-I will demonstrate GH suppression in all healthy subjects and subjects with type 2DM. Some acromegaly subjects may demonstrate GH suppression in response to IGF-I administration, but not to the degree seen in healthy subjects or type 2 DM. OGTT will demonstrate suppression of GH in normal subjects, and will show attenuated suppression in type 2 DM and a failure of suppression in acromegaly.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Percentage With Growth Hormone (GH) Suppression to < 0.4 ng/ml

    Subjects underwent recombinant insulin like growth factor 1 (rhIGF1) suppression testing and growth hormone levels were measured at time 0, 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, and 180 minutes after injection of rhIGF-1. A response \</= 0.4 ng/ml is considered a normal response in the healthy control and diabetic control subjects. The percentage of subjects with a normal GH suppression to \</= 0.4 ng/ml was calculated.

    Before injection and at time 15, 30, 60, 90, 120 and 180 minutes after rhIGF-1 injection on week 4

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Median Insulin Like Growth Factor Binding Protein 1 (IGFBP-1) Area Under the Curve in Response to Placebo, Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT), and rhIGF1 Suppression Testing

    Before injection at time 0 and then at 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, and 180 minutes after injection for week 2, 3, and 4 for each cohort for placebo, OGTT, and rhIGF1, respectively.

  • Median Insulin Level in Response to Placebo, OGTT, and rhIGF1 Testing

    Measured at 120 minutes after injection for week 2, 3, and 4 for each cohort for placebo, OGTT, and rhIGF1, respectively.

  • Median Bioactive IGF-1 Area Under the Curve in Response to Placebo, OGTT, and rhIGF1 Testing

    Before injection at time 0 and then at 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, and 180 minutes after injection for week 2, 3, and 4 for each cohort for placebo, OGTT, and rhIGF1, respectively.
