Growth Hormone Deficiency

Growth Hormone Deficiency in Autoimmune Pituitary Disorders
Growth hormone (GH) is a polypeptide hormone consisting of 191 amino acids, synthesised, stored and secreted by somatotroph cells in the lateral wings of the anterior pituitary, in a gender- and age dependent manner.

Novel Insights into the Management of Growth Hormone Deficiency
Traditionally, short stature is defined as a height that lies more than two standard deviations (SD) below the mean for age compared with gender-specific standards based on an appropriate healthy population.

Psychometric properties of two measures of psychological well-being in adult growth hormone deficiency
The physical symptoms of adult growth hormone deficiency (GHD) include abnormal body composition with reduced lean body mass and increased central adiposity; reduced muscle strength and exercise performance

Growth Hormone Treatment of Young Growth Hormone-Deficient Adults
This study will evaluate if the GH treatment of young GH deficient adults since childhood can be a benefit for body composition, lipidic profile and bone density.
