Growth-hormone deficiency in man: an isolated, recessively inherited defect.

A deficiency of human growth hormone not associated with other pituitary deficiencies was observed in midgets with sexual ateliosis, a form of dwarfism inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. Body proportions, sexual development, birth weight, and postpartum lactation are normal in this syndrome.

Pectin: an examination in normal subjects.

Pectin (10 g) administered to normal subjects with 100 g of glucose did not alter significantly serum concentrations of either glucose or insulin compared with glucose given alone. Pectin given with a mixed meal, however, did reduce the degree of glycemia without significantly altering insulin secretion. Pectin given with meals for 18 days was without effect on either serum glucose or insulin concentrations.

Comparison of two indices of glycemic control in diabetic subjects: glycosylated serum protein and hemoglobin.

Glycosylated serum protein (GSP) and glycosylated hemoglobin (GHb) were measured in 263 insulin-dependent and 41 non-insulin-dependent diabetic subjects. Both indices provided useful information in type II diabetes, but were extremely poor in judging control in type I diabetes. In both groups, there was poor correlation of the fasting serum glucose with either GSP or GHb. Only 4% of type I diabetic subjects had normal values for both GSP and GHb. Of subjects with elevated GSP, 98% had elevated GHb; 25% of subjects with elevated GHb values had normal values for GSP.

Dietary pectin and glycemic control in diabetes.

Seventeen diabetic subjects requiring insulin and who exhibited glycemic stability over a 9-12-mo control period received 5 g of pectin with each meal and at bedtime for 3 mo. Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and glycosylated serum protein were measured in each patient on multiple occasions to assess glycemic control. No clear-cut change in these measurements occurred during the period of pectin ingestion. These data are not consistent with a beneficial effect of high-pectin diets in people with diabetes.
