Study Summary

This study will examine hormonal differences in ghrelin and growth hormone in obese and normal weight adolescents and their relationship to body composition and insulin resistance. The study will also investigate the effect of the macronutrient composition of a meal on postprandial ghrelin levels and whether ghrelin responses will predict the degree of hunger and caloric intake at a subsequent meal.

Primary Outcome

Peak growth hormone (GH) on the GH stimulation test is a measure of the adequacy of GH secretion.
