ipGTT: intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test; ipITT: intraperitoneal
insulin tolerance test.
Intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test (GTT) (a) and
insulin tolerance test (ITT) (b) were performed and area under curve (AUC) was measured for the GTT.
At the end of 12 weeks
insulin tolerance test (ITT) was performed in all groups.
Response to
insulin tolerance test on admission and first control visit MAY 2009 AUGUST 2009 Time (minute) 0.
Once suspected, the definitive diagnosis can be confirmed by laboratory evaluation of adrenocortical function by short synacthen test,
insulin tolerance test and metyrapone test13.
Herrmann's study, which was funded by Novo Nordisk, 6 of the 18 head trauma patients with pituitary deficiency had GH deficiency, defined as a GH response of less than 9 [micro]g/L to stimulation with GH releasing hormone plus arginine, and of less than 3 [micro]g/L to the
insulin tolerance test (ITT).
This is a very practical issue because inexperienced junior colleagues have aborted an
insulin tolerance test (ITT) when the patient was symptomatic and the glucose meter reading was 35 mg/ dL.
The hypothalamic-pituitary-adreno-cortical glucocorticoid axis can be studied during the
insulin tolerance test. Cortisol secretion is normally elicited by hypoglycemia.

In order to measure insulin sensitivity, we performed an
insulin tolerance test. Glimepiride-treated mice are as sensitive to insulin as control-treated mice (c).
C,
Insulin tolerance test results for control (n=4 mice), HFD (n=4 mice) and HFD + rimonabant (n=4 mice) groups.
The
insulin tolerance test revealed the suppression of C-peptide as well as the poor responses of ACTH and cortisol (Table 2(c)).
