Alterations in the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis after prolonged residence in Antarctica.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:We examined the effect of GH substitution on adipose tissue-derived hormones and cytokines and sought to identify predictors for changes in body composition during therapy. Long-standing adult-onset GH deficiency (AO-GHD) is associated with increased body fat mass (FM) which, through production of hormones an...
