Long-term effects of growth hormone (GH) replacement in men with childhood-onset GH deficiency

Short term GH replacement therapy has been shown to improve body composition and exercise capacity. It is not yet known whether GH replacement remains beneficial over the long term. We assessed the effects of long term GH replacement on body composition, bone mineral density, and cardiac function. T...

description Short term GH replacement therapy has been shown to improve body composition and exercise capacity. It is not yet known whether GH replacement remains beneficial over the long term. We assessed the effects of long term GH replacement on body composition, bone mineral density, and cardiac function. Thirty-eight men with childhood-onset GH deficiency were studied for a period of 3-5 yr. Measurements included anthropometry, computed tomographic scanning of abdomen and upper leg, bone densitometry, echo cardiography, and bicycle ergometry. The initial GH dose of 1-3 IU/m2 x day (9-27 microg/kg) was gradually tapered to 1.30+/-0.38 IU/m2 x day (11 g/kg), aiming at physiological insulin-like growth factor I levels. During the study, leg muscle mass progressively increased by 28.7% (P
