In the article by J. R. Humbert and R. W. Gotlin,1 the authors state that previous reports in which hypoglycemia was induced artificially with insulin demonstrated a variable growth hormone response. They then refer to the paper by Cornblath, et al.2 as reporting a failure to obtain a rise in growth hormone levels. This is incorrect as we found that insulin-induced hypoglycemia actually resulted in a very marked rise in growth hormone levels in both the full-term and premature infants tested.

synopsisThe growth hormone response to insulin induced hypoglycaemia was studied in 7 alcoholic in-patients who had been abstinent for 2–11 days and in 10 normal controls. Blood samples were taken at intervals after the injection of soluble insulin (0·1 U/kg body weight). The growth hormone response was impaired in 4 of the alcoholics and the depression was not related to differences in blood glucose or plasma free fatty acids. The Cortisol response was also impaired in the alcoholics. We conclude that alcoholics observed after alcohol withdrawal may have a depression of hypothalamic/pituitary function.
