Abstract:
PURPOSE:Acromegaly is a systemic metabolic disease. Growth hormone (GH) have a significant impact on adipose tissue (AT). A huge reduction of serum GH after surgical treatment may cause substantial AT redistribution. The objective of this study was to illustrate the dynamic changes in distribution of facial and abdominal AT correlated with surgical treatment in patients with acromegaly. METHODS:Abdominal AT in 17 acromegaly patients (group 1) was studied longitudinally preoperatively and 1 month to 1 year postoperatively. The facial and abdominal subcutaneous AT (fSAT and aSAT) of another 17 acromegaly patients (group 2) were compared with 7 nonfunctional pituitary adenoma (NFPA) controls. The areas of fSAT, aSAT, and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) were obtained by MRI and quantified by image analysis software, and intrahepatic lipid (IHL) was assessed by 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). RESULTS:Abdominal adipose tissue (aSAT, VAT, and IHL) increased overall after surgical treatment. However, IHL first decreased and then continuously increased during the follow-up. Compared with the increased amount of aSAT, the fSAT amount decreased after surgical treatment. The inconsistency of this phenomenon did not appear in the NFPA control subjects. CONCLUSION:The perioperative dynamic distribution of the facial and abdominal fat in acromegaly revealed regional differences in the intricate effect of GH on adipose tissue. Reduction of serum GH after surgical treatment of acromegaly was associated with dynamic increases of IHL, abdominal visceral, and subcutaneous fat, but a reduction of facial subcutaneous fat.
