Abstract
The effect of a 6-month period of substitution therapy with recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) on muscle fibre size and muscle fibre type proportions has been investigated in a group of 13 adults with growth hormone deficiency. All had a peak growth hormone (GH) response to insulin-induced hypoglycaemia of less than 7 mU/l. There was no statistically significant change in the lesser fibre diameter or fibre proportions of either type 1 or type 2 muscle fibres in the rhGH group, as compared with placebo.Entities:
