Abstract
In light of current interest in recombinant human growth hormone (GH) as a treatment for fat distribution abnormalities, we retrospectively evaluated regional changes in fat and lean body mass in a subset of subjects who participated in randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials of GH for treatment of wasting. Treatment with a pharmacologic dose of GH (0.1 mg/kg/day) resulted in significant and sustained increases in lean body mass and losses of fat in both the trunk and appendicular regions.
