Notes:
Summary The growth hormone (HGH) and insulin responses to intravenous arginine infusion were studied in 21 patients (13 males and 8 females) with chronic pancreatitis. Ten of these patients had glucose intolerance, 5 with fasting hyperglycaemia, while 11 patients had subnormal insulin responses to arginine. Basal HGH levels and peak responses to arginine were normal but were uninfluenced by sex, glucose intolerance, fasting hyperglycaemia or insulinopenia.
