Changes in subcutaneous and intra-abdominal fat after six months of GH replacement therapy.
CT scan of the abdomen before (a) and after (b) treatment with GH demonstrates the predominant loss of 'central' as opposed to ‘peripheral’ fat (see Fig. 2 27). This is also reflected in a fall in waist: hip ratio and skin-fold thickness. By courtesy of Dr B- Bengtsson.
