GH insensitivity induced by endotoxin injection is associated with decreased liver GH receptors

Sepsis induces a state of growth hormone (GH) resistance associated with a decrease of circulating insulin-like growth factor (IGF) I, a GH-dependent anabolic hormone mainly produced by the liver. To address the mechanisms that might trigger GH insensitivity in sepsis, we investigated the regulation of liver GH receptor (GHR) and its gene expression by endotoxin. Endotoxin injection in rats decreased serum IGF-I and liver GH-binding sites after 10 h. In contrast to liver GHR, circulating GH-binding protein (GHBP) levels were not significantly reduced after endotoxin injection. The parallel decrease in IGF-I and GHR and in their corresponding liver mRNAs suggests that decreased serum IGF-I and liver GHR were likely to result from decreased liver synthesis. Although GH administration in control animals significantly enhanced serum IGF-I, it did fail to prevent the decline in serum IGF-I and liver GH-binding sites in endotoxemic rats. In this study, we showed that endotoxin injection induces a state of GH insensitivity associated with decreased liver GHR. This decline in GHR, which cannot be prevented by exogenous GH, might contribute to the GH insensitivity observed in sepsis.
