Abstract
Adults with growth hormone (GH) deficiency have decreased lean body mass which can be normalized by GH treatment. The anabolic action of GH involves redistribution of nitrogen from ureogenesis to the extrahepatic anabolic process together with stimulation of amino acid uptake and protein synthesis.Keywords
