Abstract

Patients with adult growth hormone (GH) deficiency are thought to be of increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Impaired vascular reactivity to endothelium derived nitric oxid (NO) is an early event in the development of atherosclerosis. In order to detect a possible effect of GH on vascular endothelium we examined forearm vasodilator responses in 8 patients with adult GH-deficiency before and after 3 months GH replacement therapy.
