Ten women in labour were given constant infusions of glucose about 1 g/min for from 18 to 77 min before delivery, 10 others had similar glucose infusions with insulin and 20 had none. The normally high levels of growth hormone in cord blood may be still further raised by infusion of glucose alone or with insulin into the mother before birth.
