Abstract
Plasma levels of free fatty acids (FFA) increased comparably in subjects of normal weight and in the extremely obese 4 hr after human growth hormone (HGH) was given intramuscularly in a body weight-related dose. Pretreatment of the very obese with HGH did not modify the subnormal response of plasma FFA to infused epinephrine.Keywords
