[Bioelectric activity of the brain in insulin-induced hypoglycemia in children with growth deficiency].

The somatotropin levels during insulin-induced hypoglycemia was assessed in 30 children with growth deficiency. The variation of glycemia and somatotropin activity were evaluated during 120-minutes recording of the bioelectric activity of the brain. In 90% of children generalized and paroxysmal abnormalities were found during insulin-induced hypoglycemia.
