Abstract excerpt
Increased cardiovascular mortality in adult growth hormone deficiency (GHD) may be, in part, explained by the dyslipidaemia associated with this condition. It is possible that abnormalities of very low density lipoprotein apolipoprotein B-100 (VLDL apoB) metabolism contribute to this dyslipidaemi...
