Body fat and the size and number of adipose cells were determined in 22 children with growth hormone deficiency before and after 6 months of replacement therapy with human growth hormone (HGH). A marked reduction in body fat and adipose cell size was found, and the total number of adipose cells increased at the normal rate during treatment. HGH does not appear to induce catch-up growth in the number of adipose cells.
对22名生长激素缺乏儿童在接受人生长激素(HGH)替代治疗6个月前后的体脂、脂肪细胞大小和数量进行了测定。结果发现,体脂和脂肪细胞大小显著降低,且治疗期间脂肪细胞总数以正常速率增加。HGH似乎并未诱导脂肪细胞数量的追赶性生长。
