The altered plasma amino acid pattern is responsible for the paradoxical growth hormone response to the oral glucose tolerance test in liver cirrhosis

Abstract: Our data suggest that in liver cirrhosis the altered BCAA/AAA ratio may influence the altered basal GH secretion and the paradoxical GH response to the OGTT, probably by an increase of adrenergic mediators in the brain. Moreover, the increase of BCAA/AAA ratio seems to be able to abolish the GH paradoxical response to the OGTT.
