Abstract
In this review, different methods to estimate body composition are discussed shortly. The effects by GH on total and visceral fat mass, lean mass, muscle strength and body water are described. Gender differences in the sensitivity to GH administration are reviewed. Finally, a short description of the effects of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) administration on body composition has been included.Entities:
