since basal glucose utilization is not enhanced by gh injection and both the blunted insulin sensitivity of adipose tissue and the absent insulin sensitivity of adipopocytes would be expected to produce hyperglycemia rather than hypoglycemia , it is concluded that immediate systemic effects of a gh injection on carbohydrate metabolism are not related to changes in glucose metabolism of the peripheral adipose tissues .
