Comparison of protein turnover and energy expenditure in growth hormone deficiency, acromegaly and Cushing's syndrome before and after surgery to normal subjects
St Vincent's Hospital
80 participants

Observational
Conditions
Summary
Acromegaly, GH deficiency and Cushing's syndrome all alter body protein. The aim was to compare protein metabolism in these 3 conditions to normal subjects, along with how protein metabolism changes following surgical removal of hormone-secreting tumour.
