Growth Hormone and IGF-I Plasma Concentrations and Macronutrient Intake Measured in a Free-Living Elderly Population During a One-Year Period

Nutritional Sciences Program, University of Missouri, Columbia, Missouri

View larger version (10K): [in a new window]   Fig. 1. Scatter plot of plasma growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor-I concentrations in the March sample obtained from the Lenoir participants. Hormone concentrations are expressed per mg albumin measured simultaneously in the samples. The Pearson Correlation Coefficient was 0.0915 for the 34 observations, indicating no correlation between the two hormone concentrations.

Data from individual participants obtained during the month of March are included in the analysis. T-bars represent SD of the analysis, with mean shown within each box. The number of individuals with intakes <5 MJ/day=3, 5 to 7.5 MJ/day=16 and >7.5 MJ/day=13.

Quartile distribution (25–75 percentile) of plasma insulin-like growth factor concentration in the Lenoir participants consuming three levels of energy. Data from individual participants obtained during the month of March are included in the analysis. T-bars represent SD of the analysis, with mean shown within each box. Dots represent individual outliers within the sample population. The number of individuals with intakes <5 MJ/day=3, 5 to 7.5 MJ/day=16 and >7.5 MJ/day=13.
