The Relationship Between the Growth Hormone (GH)- Insulin Like Growth Factor I (IGF-I) System and the Inflammatory System in Healthy Normal Persons

• Status: Unknown status
• Trial end date: 2010-03-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

Observations in patients with growth hormone (GH)-disturbances have suggested that GH/IGF-I might have anti-inflammatory effects. To elucidate this hypothesis the investigators have planned a study to investigate if 3 weeks administration of GH and subsequently the GH antagonist Pegvisomant (or vice versa) influence serum levels of different inflammatory markers in healthy volunteers.
