摘要
A 'blind', cross-over study was performed in 10 control and 12 burned rats which were assigned to receive either biosynthetic human growth hormone (somatropin) or placebo for 5 days each in random order. There was a significant use in urinary nitrogen excretion and rapid weight loss in the burned rats, which also had significantly lower plasma somatomedin levels than control rats. Somatropin administration resulted in a significant increase in somatomedin levels in control rats only. There was no significant difference in weight or nitrogen balance between somatropin or placebo-treated rats. It is concluded that rats with normal pituitary function are insensitive to the anabolic effects of somatropin and that burn injury abolishes the normal somatomedin response to somatropin. © 1990.
