A. Non-stratified population undergoing a GHRH+Arginine Dynamic Test. Time 45 and 60 are significantly different between patients who are allergic to Ni and patients who are not, with allergic patients showing a significantly blunted response. B. Obe patients show the same trend as the non-stratified population but fail to show a significant difference at any time point. C. MObe patients confirm the same significantly blunted response shown by the general population at time point 45 and 60. ****, p < .0001.
