Why the study?
Does low-dose continuous subcutaneous infusion of recombinant human growth hormone alter lipoprotein concentrations in middle-aged overweight men?
Does low-dose continuous subcutaneous infusion of recombinant human growth hormone alter lipoprotein concentrations in middle-aged overweight men?
Low-dose continuous infusion of growth hormone in overweight men decreases LDL cholesterol but significantly increases lipoprotein(a) concentrations.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Low-dose GH infusion was associated with higher Lp(a) despite LDL reduction in overweight men; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Oscarsson et al. (1994) studied this question.
