摘要：

OBJECTIVE Early studies of acromegaly undertaken before the general availability of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) assays have used arbitrary and varying growth hormone (GH) threshold levels for diagnosing and assessing outcome of treatment for this disease. We have undertaken a detailed study of GH secretion and its relationship to IGF-I levels to assess the usefulness of GH and IGF-I measurements in the assessment of acromegaly. PATIENTS Thirty acromegalic subjects (12 untreated and 16 previously treated) and 30 age and sex-matched normal subjects were studied.
