   [1] [2] [3] In typical acromegaly disease scenario both insulin-like growth factor 1 levels and growth hormone levels are elevated (growth hormone is not suppressed correctly during an oral glucose tolerance test). Such abnormalities in the insulin-like growth factor 1 levels can be caused by pituitary microadenoma. [citation needed]
