Full text not available from this repository.Hypopituitarism with adult-onset growth hormone deficiency (GHD) is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality due to premature and progressive atherosclerosis. An underlying cause of atherosclerosis is increased insulin resistance. Elevated fasting and postprandial glucose and lipid levels may contribute to premature atherosclerosis. We studied effects of growth hormone replacement (GHRT) on fasting and postprandial metabolic parameters as well as on insulin sensitivity in patients with adult-onset GHD.
