Biochemical assessment of disease control in acromegaly: reappraisal of the glucose suppression test in somatostatin analogue (SA) treated patients

Arlien-Soborg Mai C. , Alvarson Elin , Dal Jakob , Jorgensen Jens Otto L.

Context: The nadir serum GH level during glucose suppression (OGTT) is recommended in patients treated by surgery, but not during SA treatment. We have shown that patients considered controlled by SA don’t suppress serum GH during OGTT and have impaired disease-specific QoL as compared to patients controlled by surgery. We hypothesize SA treated patients also don’t suppress GH in response to mixed meals.Aim: To compare GH levels during two mixe...
