Prior studies suggest markedly reduced growth hormone (GH) levels in association with excess visceral adiposity among patients with HIV-lipodystrophy. We investigated mechanisms of altered GH secretion in a population of 13 male HIV-infected patients with evidence of fat redistribution, compared with 10 HIV-nonlipodystrophic patients and 11 male healthy controls similar in age and body mass index (BMI). Although similar in BMI, the lipodystrophic group was characterized by increased visceral adiposity, free fatty acids (FFA), and insulin and reduced extremity fat. We investigated ghrelin and the effects of acute lowering of FFA by acipimox on GH responses to growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH). We also investigated somatostatin tone, comparing GH response to combined GHRH and arginine vs. GHRH alone with a subtraction algorithm. Our data demonstrate an equivalent number of GH pulses (4.1 \u00b1 0.6, 4.7 \u00b1 0.8, and 4.5 \u00b1 0.3 pulses\/12 h in the HIV-lipodystrophic, HIV-nonlipodystrophic, and healthy control groups, respectively, P &gt; 0.05) but markedly reduced GH secretion pulse area (1.14 \u00b1 0.27 vs. 4.67 \u00b1 1.24 ng\u00b7ml<jats:sup>\u20131<\/jats:sup>\u00b7min, P &lt; 0.05, HIV-lipodystrophic vs. HIV-nonlipodystrophic; 1.14 \u00b1 0.27 vs. 3.18 \u00b1 0.92 ng\u00b7ml<jats:sup>\u20131<\/jats:sup>\u00b7min, P &lt; 0.05 HIV-lipodystrophic vs. control), GH pulse area, and GH pulse width in the HIV-lipodystrophy patients compared with the control groups. Reduced ghrelin (418 \u00b1 46 vs. 514 \u00b1 37 pg\/ml, P &lt; 0.05, HIV-lipodystrophic vs. HIV-nonlipodystrophic; 418 \u00b1 46 vs. 546 \u00b1 45 pg\/ml, P &lt; 0.05, HIV-lipodystrophic vs. control), impaired GH response to GHRH by excess FFA, and increased somatostatin tone contribute to reduced GH secretion in patients with HIV-lipodystrophy. These data provide novel insight into the metabolic regulation of GH secretion in subjects with HIV-lipodystrophy. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1152\/ajpendo.00335.2003","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,1,30]],"date-time":"2004-01-30T20:09:03Z","timestamp":1075493343000},"page":"E296-E303","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":62,"title":["Metabolic regulation of growth hormone by free fatty acids, somatostatin, and ghrelin in HIV-lipodystrophy"],"prefix":"10.1152","volume":"286","author":[{"given":"Polyxeni","family":"Koutkia","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gary","family":"Meininger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bridget","family":"Canavan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jeff","family":"Breu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Steven","family":"Grinspoon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"24","reference":[{"key":"REF1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1210\/jcem-67-6-1186"},{"key":"REF2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000125716"},{"key":"REF3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF03348897"},{"key":"REF4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ajcn\/36.1.172"},{"key":"REF5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00002030-199807000-00003"},{"key":"REF6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1210\/jcem.86.8.7731"},{"key":"REF7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa012908"},{"key":"REF8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1152\/ajpendo.00569.2001"},{"key":"REF9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000125890"},{"key":"REF10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2265.1990.tb00923.x"},{"key":"REF11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0026-0495(92)90220-5"},{"key":"REF12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/meta.2002.34704"},{"key":"REF13","unstructured":"Hadigan C, Corcoran C, Stanley T, Piecuch S, Klibanski A, and Grinspoon S.
