Introduction: 24-h average (IC) plasma concentrations of cortisol and growth hormone are lower in obese youth and adults without Type 2 diabetes (T2D) compared to lean subjects. Here we examined IC-cortisol and IC-growth hormone levels in obese youth with and without T2D.
Methods: We pooled ½-hourly samples from 20 to 24-hour sampling to create an IC for cortisol, cortisone, C-peptide, insulin, growth hormone and cortisol-binding-globulin in obese African-American youth with (n = 8) and without T2D (N = 9).
