Introduction Acromegaly is a rare disease characterized by the overproduction of growth hormone (GH), which is commonly secreted by a pituitary adenoma (PA). Because of cardiovascular, respiratory, and metabolic comorbidities, patients with

Introduction IGF-1 measurement is important for the diagnosis and management of patients with growth hormone (GH) deficiency or acromegaly as well as in their follow-up ( 1 , 2 ). We previously established normative data for six IGF-I assays

hydrocarbon receptor-interacting protein ( AIP ) gene mutations ( AIPmut ) were first described by Vierimaa and coworkers in 2006 ( 3 ). This study has found AIPmut in seemingly sporadic acromegaly patients and in familial isolated pituitary adenomas (FIPA

Metabolic disturbances in patients suffering from excessive production of growth hormone (GH), termed acromegaly, seem to be similar to those in the insulin resistant state, i.e. hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia and hypertriglyceridemia ( 63 ). Conversely
