The present study tests the mechanistic postulate that estrogen confers resistance to negative feedback by systemic IGF-I. To this end, eight postmenopausal women received a constant iv infusion of recombinant human (rh)IGF-I (10 micro g/kg.h x 6 h) and saline in randomized order on the 10th day of supplementation with oral estradiol (E(2)) and placebo (Pl). GH secretion was quantitated by 10-min blood sampling, immunochemiluminometry assay, and deconvolution analysis. Administration of E(2… CONTINUE READING
