Abstract
GH has profound effects on the amount and distribution of adipose tissue. GHD in both children and adults is accompanied by an increased amount of adipose tissue and by the abdominal predominance of adipose tissue. In contrast, treatment with GH reduces adipose tissue, and redistributes adipose tissue from abdominal to peripheral depots.
