"[In conclusion, 1) the low level of GHR in cirrhotic liver may contribute to the acquired GH resistance found in cirrhotic patients; 2) the reduced expression of both full-length and truncated GHR is compatible with the low level of GH-binding protein found in cirrhosis, as this truncated receptor has previously been reported to generate large amounts of GH-binding protein; and 3) the demonstration of GH binding to cirrhotic liver explains why these patients with GH resistance may still respond to supraphysiological doses of GH.].
