Abstract

This study examined the effect of growth hormone (GH) on hepatic glucose metabolism and on the fractional extraction of insulin and glucagon after oral glucose administration. GH treatment [canine GH (0.75 mg/day for 7 days)] significantly increased basal portal vein and hepatic artery flow (P < 0.01 compared with pre-GH treatment). After GH treatment and after oral glucose, glucose levels significantly exceeded those before GH at 100 and 120 min in arterial and portal vein plasma and 120 min in the hepatic vein. The net hepatic uptake of glucose was similar before and after GH treatment. The increment of net nonhepatic splanchnic insulin balance above basal was 131 +/- 31 mU.kg-1.3 h-1 before and 272 +/- 46 mU.kg-1.3 h-1 after GH treatment (P < 0.05). An increase in fractional hepatic extraction of insulin occurred before GH treatment and was significantly greater at 60 min. In summary, despite the increased insulin content after GH administration, there was no change in hepatic uptake of glucose, indicating that the liver was also the site of insulin resistance.
