Methods: We performed an IVGTT in 13 patients (8 NGT, 2 IFG, and 3 DM; 5 males, age 47.9 ± 11 years, body mass index 29.7 ± 4.1 kg/m2) with active acromegaly (insulin-like growth factor-1 4.1 ± 1.3 × upper limit of normal, basal GH 29.1 ± 25 ng/mL) and 3 healthy controls (2 males, age 39 ± 3 years, body mass index 23 ± 5 kg/m2). This evidence concerns the gene IGF1 and acromegaly.
