Growth Hormone (GH) Therapy in GH-Deficient Adults Influences the Response to a Dietary Load of Cholesterol and Saturated Fat in Terms of Cholesterol Synthesis, But Not Serum Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Levels1

Abstract: An increased dietary load of cholesterol (ch) and saturated fat increases serum low density lipoprotein ch (LDL-ch) levels. GH therapy in GH-deficient adults decreases serum LDL-ch levels. In the rat, GH is important for resistance to dietary cholesterol in terms of serum cholesterol levels. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of GH on the effects of an increase in the intake of cholesterol and saturated fat on serum lipoproteins and markers for cholesterol synthesis in man. Six GH-deficient… Show more
