Effects of Administration of Growth Hormone, Without and With Liraglutide, on AgRP, Energy and Glucose Metabolism in Healthy and GH Deficient Humans
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This is a randomized, placebo-controlled, cross-over study with 4 arms. Healthy and GH deficient adults ages 18-45 years will be studied. Arms will consist of 21-day treatment periods and be separated by 8-week washout periods.
