    • It is well recognized that aberrant fat localization such as visceral obesity rather than total body fat mass is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus. During recent decades, several studies have described a range of metabolic disturbances associated with abdominal obesity, including glucose intolerance, hyperinsulinaemia, insulin resistance, hypertension and dyslipoproteinaemia, now widely known as the metabolic syndrome. Several abnormalities in the hypothalamic-pituitary axis have been described associated with visceral obesity, suggesting a central neuroendocrine dysregulation including increased cortisol concentration and impaired gonadotropin and growth hormone (GH) secretion. Some steps in the chain of events in this theory still remain unclear, however, although these findings have introduced new therapeutic possibilities. These include therapy with sex steroids in both viscerally obese men and women, and several attempts to use GH to treat the endocrine abnormalities present in visceral obesity. The results of these studies are promising, but the therapies are still not recommended for general use.

    • The proportion of elderly people is steadily growing in Western societies. The result is a disproportionate accumulation of the oldest and most vulnerable sector of the population, suffering from frailty-associated disorders and cardiovascular diseases. Growth hormone (GH) secretion declines progressively during adulthood. In ageing and severe GH deficiency, an individual's muscle mass, muscle strength and bone mass are decreased, and the relative proportion of total and visceral fat is increased. An association between reduced GH levels and the catabolism of ageing has been suggested. GH or GH secretagogue treatment could be of value to minimize the health-related consequences associated with the ageing process.

    • Bone remodelling is a continuous, closely coupled process of bone resorption followed by bone formation. This process is regulated by factors and hormones which include GH, IGF-I and gonadal steroids. GH deficiency in childhood results in short stature and delayed bone maturation and a reduced peak bone mass might account for reduced BMC and BMD. Possible pathophysiological mechanisms for reduced bone mass in both childhood- and adult-onset GH deficiency are discussed. GH treatment effects on bone metabolism include increased remodelling, with increases in BMC, BMD and bone area. Increases in BMC and BMD are delayed while these changes are incorporated into the skeleton. BMC increases to a greater extent than BMD. At a cellular level, GH and IGF-I have direct and indirect effects on osteoblast and osteoclast precursors and fully differentiated cells. Osteoblasts possess both oestrogen and androgen receptors and bone loss accelerates with the loss of gonadal function. There are gender differences in GH effects on bone. BMD is related to fracture risk in the hip and lumbar spine in women. GH treatment might decrease fracture risk at a level comparable to oestrogen or bisphosphonate treatment. Patients with the lowest BMD prior to treatment derive the greatest benefit from GH therapy.

  • Growth hormone and the metabolic syndrome.
  • 1999
  • Ingår i: Journal of endocrinological investigation. - 0391-4097. ; 22:5 Suppl, s. 41-6

    • The association of several risk factors, obesity, dyslipoproteinemia, hepatic steatosis, insulin resistance and hypertension with Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus and myocardial infarction has long been known and has been termed the "metabolic syndrome". In 1988 Reaven introduced syndrome X as the link between insulin resistance and hypertension. It has been suggested that a critical factor in the association between obesity, Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular morbidity is the mass of intraabdominal fat. Striking similarities exist between the metabolic syndrome and untreated growth hormone (GH) deficiency in adults. The central findings in both these syndromes are abdominal/visceral obesity and insulin resistance. Other features common to both conditions are premature atherosclerosis and increased mortality from cardiovascular diseases. These similarities indicate that undetectable and low levels of GH may be of importance in the metabolic aberrations observed in both these conditions. Recent investigations have found that abdominal/visceral distribution of adipose tissue is associated with endocrine disturbances including increased activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and a blunted secretion of GH and sex steroids. Theoretically, these endocrine perturbations can be a consequence of obesity, but the endocrine aberrations may have causal effects. We studied moderately obese, middle-aged men with a preponderance of abdominal body fat. As a group, they had slight to moderate metabolic changes known to be associated with abdominal/visceral obesity. Nine months of GH treatment reduced their total body fat and resulted in a specific and a marked decrease in both abdominal subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue. Moreover, insulin sensitivity improved and serum concentrations of total cholesterol and triglyceride decreased. Diastolic blood pressure also decreased. The finding that GH replacement in men with abdominal obesity can diminish the negative metabolic consequences of visceral obesity suggests that low levels of this hormone are of importance for the metabolic aberrations associated with visceral/abdominal obesity.
