Abstract
Alterations in PTH circadian rhythm and PTH target-organ sensitivity exist in adult GH-deficient (AGHD) patients and may underlie the pathogenesis of AGHD-related osteoporosis. GH replacement (GHR) results in increased bone mineral density, but its benefit in AGHD patients over 60 yr old has been debated.
