摘要
The study aimed to assess the role of pituitary hormones in the relationship between insulin resistance and obesity. Twelve male subjects with hypopituitarism secondary to surgery for a non-functioning pituitary adenoma were recruited. Subjects were receiving replacement hormones. Fasting plasma samples were taken for insulin, C-peptide, glucose, and lipids. Body mass index and blood pressure were measured. In hypopituitary subjects on replacement therapy, a positive association between body mass index and fasting plasma insulin levels (r = 0.76, p<0.004) was similar to that found in normal subjects. In conclusion pituitary function does not have a direct role in determining the relationship between fasting plasma insulin, an index of insulin resistance, and obesity.
