Growth Hormone Deficiency in Adults (Frontiers of Hormone Research)
by J.S. Christiansen, Ezio Ghigo, and Federica Guaraldi
It has been known for over 40 years that GH-deficient children benefit from replacement with the hormone. But GH, essential for longitudinal growth, also plays a role after completion of final height. With the introduction of biosynthetic human GH 20 years ago, the use of GH was no longer restricted to severe growth retardation in hypopituitary children. The contents of this volume encompass traditional end points of GH therapy such as body composition, bone biology and physical performance. Attention is also devoted to diagnostic aspects and side effects. Additional features range from clinical epidemiology to quality of life, and novel areas such as the impact of traumatic brain injury on pituitary function are also covered.
