Does not warrant clinical changes; hypothesis-generating for peripheral GH receptor feedback in bone.
IGF-I and insulin stimulate cell proliferation and down-regulate GH receptors in osteoblasts, suggesting a peripheral negative feedback loop regulating GH action.
Leung et al. (1996) studied this question.
