Abstract

A 6-day period of subcutaneous infusion with recombinant human insulin-like growth factor I in three healthy male volunteers resulted in an increase in the ratio of insulin to C-peptide levels and significant decreases in triglyceride levels and the ratio of total to high density lipoprotein-cholesterol in serum. Increased renal plasma flow and glomerular filtration rates were also observed.
