Abstract
The importance of growth hormone (GH) for normal skeletal growth in childhood and adolescence is well established but much less is known about its action on the adult skeleton. We therefore wished to investigate the effects of replacement treatment with biosynthetic human GH in hypopituitary adults on aspects of calcium homeostasis, bone metabolism and bone mineral mass.
