Text: Graded Te supplementation increased serum Te concentrations (nmol/l) from 0. 87 + / - 0. 06 [Pl] to 5 + / - 1 [low] and 7. 3 + / - 1. 6 [high] (P < 0. 001), but did not affect : (i) pulsatile GH secretion (microg/l/12 h ; conversion factor : 1 microg/l = 0. 33 mU/l), 29 + / - 7. 2, 32 + / - 5. 6 and 27 + / - 4. 9 ; (ii) GH regularity (approximate entropy), 0. 52 + / - 0. 05, 0. 57 + / - 0. 05 and 0. 56 + / - 0. 05 ; (iii) IGF-I concentrations (microg/l ; conversion factor : 1 microg/l = 0. 131 nmol/l), 126 + / - 13, 135 + / - 15 and 141 + / - 13 ; (iv) IGFBP-3 (mg/l), 3. 7 + / - 0. 2, 3. 6 + / - 0. 1 and 3. 7 + / - 0. 2 ; (v) IGFBP-1 (microg/l), 41 + / - 2. 3, 44 + / - 3. 8 and 44 + / - 3. 2 ; and (vi) the mass of GH secreted (microg/l/3 h) after GHRP-2 injection, 123 + / - 27, 146 + / - 32 and 147 + / - 38.
