GH1 and Insulin resistance: Abnormal high levels of GH can contribute to the induction of insulin resistance (Weaver et al., 1995), alter inflammatory cytokine levels (Uronen‐Hansson et. al., 2003; Bartke, 2008), and can reduce life expectancy in both mice (Brown‐Borg et al., 1996; Bartke et al., 1998) and humans (Chertman et al., 2000).
