Growth hormone (GH) enhances anaerobic capacity: impact on physical function and quality of life in adults with GH deficiency.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Cabergoline therapy normalizes prolactin levels and reduces the size of macroprolactinomas. However there are no data indicating whether cabergoline can normalize growth hormone secretion in patients who were growth hormone deficient at the time of diagnosis of a macroprolactinoma. SUBJECTS AND METHODS:We st...
