Insulin Resistance in Patients With Acromegaly
Acromegaly is characterized by chronic overproduction of growth hormone (GH) that leads to insulin resistance, glucose intolerance and, ultimately, diabetes. The GH-induced sustained stimulation of lipolysis plays a major role not only in the development

Evaluation and Diagnostic Potential of Serum Ghrelin in Feline Hypersomatotropism and Diabetes Mellitus [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Ghrelin is a growth hormone secretagogue. It is a potent regulator of energy homeostasis. Ghrelin concentration is down‐regulated in humans with hypersomatotropism (HS) and increases after successful treatment. Additionally, ghrelin secretion

Guidelines on diagnostics and treatment of acromegaly (draft)
We recommend acromegaly to be ruled in all patients with characteristic changes in appearance (A3). In all patients without characteristic changes in appearance, we recommend to rule out acromegaly, if several clinical signs suspicious for acromegaly are
