Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Patients with adult GH-deficiency are thought to have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Sialic acid (SA) concentrations have been proposed as a marker of atherosclerotic disease probably related to an inflammatory response of the arterial wall. SA as a marker of cardiovascular disease in adult GH-deficiency and its relation to changes in fasting lipid profile and hormone concentrations have not yet been investigated.
