Study Type: Interventional
Official Title: Insulin Sensitivity and Substrate Metabolism Before and After Treatment in Patients With Growth Hormone Deficiency
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to further characterize the treatment related changes in insulin sensitivity, substrate metabolism and intrahepatic-intramyocellular lipids in patients with growth hormone deficiency (GHD).
