Plasma glucose AUC (A) and plasma insulin AUC (B) during the 2-h period immediately after the standardized test meal was ingested during the meal tolerance test (MTT) before overeating (baseline) and at 2 wk of overeating in subjects who did not receive any GH treatment (control) and subjects that received low doses of GH daily (GHT). The energy and macronutrient content of the MTT was identical before and during the overeating period. *Significantly greater than baseline within treatment, P < 0.05. †Significantly different from control at 2 wk, P < 0.05 (n = 8 subjects in each group; 1 control subject did not complete the MTT at 2 wk).
