to determine whether cyclic somatostatin ( gh-rih ) interferes with glucose utilization and gluconeogenesis we studied levels of blood glucose ( bg ) , immunoreactive insulin ( iri ) , immunoreactive glucagon ( irg ) and of human growth hormone ( gh ) after iv glucose ( 330 mg/kg ) and iv arginine ( 0.5 g/kg ) in healthy subjects ( n=8 ) and in maturity onset diabetics ( n=8 ; fasting bg less than 200 mg/dl ) both in the presence and in the absence of gh-rih ( 500 microng/h iv ) .
