Correlation of Increased Serum Adipsin with Increased Cardiovascular Risks in Adult Patients with Growth Hormone Deficiency

Objective: Adult growth hormone deficiency (AGHD) patients have an increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Adipsin is an adipokine that is significantly correlated with metabolic disease, especially in people with obesity. The objective of our study was to compare AGHD patients with healthy subjects to evaluate whether adipsin levels are closely related to glycolipid metabolism and cardiovascular risks in AGHD...
