A pituitary polypeptide, acceleratory polypeptide-growth hormone (ACG), has been found to increase the sensitivity of fasting normal people to intravenous insulin. It is suggested that diminished activity of this polypeptide-or increased activity of another polypeptide, inhibitory polypeptide-growth hormone (ING)-may have a role in the genesis of diabetes mellitus.
