Abstract:
Objective To identify the changes of body composition with acromegaly before and after pituitary adeno-ma surgery,and to evaluate the relationship between these changes and serum growth hormone(GH),insulin-like growth factor-1(IGF-1).Methods Serum GH with OGTY,IGF-1 levels,BMI,fat percentage,FFM and total body water(TBW) in patients were measured in active and relieved period of the disease.Results The BMI and FFM with active acromegalic males were significantly higher,but fat percentage was significantly lower than that of healthy males.After the disease was relieved by surgery,serum GH and IGF-1 concentrations of patients were sig-nificantly reduced to normal level,but their BMI was still significantly higher,the fat percentage increased and the FFM decreased was correlated with serum nadin GH and IGF-1 levels.The BMI and FFM with active acromegalic females were significantly higher than healthy females,but the fat percentage had not significant change after sur-gery,and FFM decrease was correlated with reduced serum GH level.The fat percentage did not change signifi-cantly.Conclusion There was significant change of body composition with acromagely before and after treatment,and a relationship between these changes and serum GH and IGF-1 levels was identified.
