GLUCOSE NORMALLY SUPPRESSES HUMAN GROWTH HORMONE (HGH). INDIVIDUALS WITH ACROMEGALY (EXCESS OF HGH) SHOW NO DECREASE OR A PARADOXICAL INCREASE IN HGH LEVEL AFTER BEING GIVEN GLUCOSE. NORMAL INDIVIDUALS SHOW HGH LEVELS TO FALL AFTER GLUCOSE ADMINISTRATION. AFTER SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT OF ACROMEGALY, A NORMAL RESPONSE TO GLUCOSE TREATMENT IS OBSERVED, ALTHOUGH GROWTH HORMONE MAY NOT FALL TO NORMAL LEVELS.
