Thyroid Stimulating Hormone Is Increased in Hypertensive Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

abstract：:Objectives. Growth hormone deficiency patients exhibited reduced bone mineral density compared with healthy controls, but previous researches demonstrated uncertainty about the effect of growth hormone replacement therapy on bone in growth hormone deficient adults. The aim of this study was to determine whether the gr...
