Glucose [Mass/volume] in Serum or Plasma --15 minutes post dose arginine+insulin
Active
Term Description
This test is part of one growth hormone deficiency testing procedure, in which glucose and growth hormone levels are measured at specific time intervals after the administration of arginine and insulin. Normally, arginine and insulin-induced hypoglycemia stimulate the release of growth hormone, so patients without growth hormone deficiency will have a significant increase in serum growth hormone in response to arginine and insulin administration. In patients with growth hormone deficiency, however, the increase in and the absolute peak of the growth hormone level will be much lower than expected. Glucose levels are monitored during this procedure because a certain level of hypoglycemia has to be achieved in order to stimulate growth hormone release, and periodic glucose measurements can be used to titrate the insulin dose as needed.
Part Description
LP14635-4 Glucose
Glucose (C6H12O6) is a simple monosaccharide and monomer of carbohydrates. Glucose provides energy for cellular processes and aids metabolism within the body. When food is ingested, the carbohydrates within the food are broken down into glucose molecules. Blood glucose content is significant in determining an individual's overall state of health. An elevated blood glucose level is called hyperglycemia and a deficient blood glucose level is called hypoglycemia. When an individual is hyperglycemic and cannot properly regulate their blood glucose level they are considered diabetic. Type 1 diabetes is caused by the immune system attacking pancreatic beta cells (cells that produce insulin) and Type 2 diabetes is caused by insulin resistance. [MedlinePlus Encyclopedia:003482]
