  • Title: [Growth hormone and its effects on cholesterol and lipoprotein metabolism following surgical intervention (hGH and cholesterol metabolism during surgery)].
    Author: Martín R, Cano MD, Guerrero JA, Segovia E, Vara Thorbeck R.
    Journal: Nutr Hosp; 1998; 13(4):181-5. PubMed ID: 9780750.
    Abstract:
    The objective of this work was to determine whether the increase in serum GH, IGF1, glucose and insulin levels caused by the administration of hGH modifies the normal response of cholesterol and lipoproteins to surgical aggression. A prospective, randomized, and double blind study is carried out in 28 patients operated for gallstones and diverticulitis. The control group (n = 15) was not given anything except conventional fluidtherapy in the postoperative period: the patients in the hGH (n = 13) group were also given 8 IU of hGH during the first five days after the intervention. The comparative study of the triglycerides, cholesterol, LDLc, HDL-c, and A-1 B apolipoproteins shows that in the group treated with hGH the normal response of cholesterol and lipoproteins to surgical aggression is attenuated.
