Abstract
Insulin and IGF-1 production were measured throughout childhood and puberty and into adult life. Basal insulin and IGF-1 secretion increased during puberty, falling back to prepubertal levels in adulthood. However, fasting glucose levels remained constant, implying an increase in tissue resistance to insulin coinciding with puberty.Entities:
