Somatic characteristics and cardiovascular risk factors in growth hormone deficiency: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of the effect of treatment with recombinant human growth hormone

Article Abstract:

A study is conducted to identify the effect of treatment with recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) on seven somatic characteristics and eight clinical cardiovascular risk factors. The study reveals that in males waist circumference, trunk fat, conicity index, and somatotype responded significantly to treatment with rhGH whereas in females the only significant response was trunk fat.
