Idiopathic Adult Growth Hormone Deficiency [PDF]

The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2013
GH secretion is controlled by hypothalamic as well as intrapituitary and peripheral signals, all of which converge upon the somatotroph, resulting in integrated GH synthesis and secretion. Enabling an accurate diagnosis of idiopathic adult GH deficiency (IAGHD) is challenged by the pulsatility of GH secretion, provocative test result variability, and ...

Growth hormone deficiency and replacement in adults [PDF]

BMJ, 1996
Evidence gathered over the past 10 years indicates that growth hormone deficiency in adults is associated with adverse changes in body composition, lipid profile, insulin status, physical performance, bone mineral density, and quality of life. Furthermore, randomised placebo controlled studies indicate that, to varying degrees, growth hormone ...
