Growth hormone treatment improves body composition in adults with Prader-Willi syndrome.

Clinical endocrinology - 1 May 2003

Höybye Charlotte, Hilding Agneta, Jacobsson Hans, Thorén Marja

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Low growth hormone (GH) secretion and hypogonadism are common in patients with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS). In this study we present the effects of GH treatment on body composition and metabolism in adults with PWS. PATIENTS AND MEASUREMENTS: Nineteen patients with clinical PWS were recruited, 13 had PWS genotype. They were randomised to treatment with placebo or GH (Genotropin, Pharmacia Corporation,...
