Growth hormone acts in the opposite direction from insulin on glucose: it mobilises fuel. Its strongest metabolic effect is to stimulate lipolysis in fat, releasing free fatty acids, which the liver and muscle then burn in preference to glucose. Glucose uptake falls, hepatic glucose production rises, and insulin must rise to compensate. The effect is physiological during fasting and sleep and pathological when the hormone is in excess.
The acute effect on glucose is sometimes preceded by a brief insulin-like phase, a historical curiosity that the sustained anti-insulin action dominates.
Acromegaly: insulin resistance in nearly all patients and overt diabetes in a substantial minority, reversing when the hormone is controlled. Deficiency: a shift toward lower fasting glucose but, with central fat gain, its own insulin resistance. Trials in healthy older adults, summarised in the 2007 systematic review, recorded impaired fasting glucose and diabetes more often in treated groups. The direction is consistent across every setting.
Houssay received the prize jointly with Carl and Gerty Cori, who worked out glycogen metabolism.
