In patients with severe radiation-induced GH deficiency, we previously demonstrated that pulsatile GH secretion and diurnal rhythm are maintained in the fed state, albeit with great attenuation of the pulse amplitude. However, it remained unclear whether stressing the hypothalamic-pituitary axis could unmask neurosecretory dysregulation that is not seen under basal conditions. In addition, the impact of fasting on GH pulsatility and diurnal variation in GH-deficient patients has not been studied in detail before. STUDY SUBJECTS AND DESIGN: Twenty-four-hour GH profiles at 20-min intervals were undertaken in the fed state and in the last 24 h of a 33-h fast in eight young adult cancer survivors (two women) with severe GH deficiency after cranial irradiation for nonpituitary brain tumors in childhood and 14 matched normal controls (three women). A sensitive chemiluminescence GH assay was used with cluster analysis.
