Inclusion Criteria:
We will follow inclusion-exclusion criteria which are very much like those used in the pilot study performed in 2005.
* Briefly, duration of the GHD prior to entering the study should last for at least 3 years prior rhGH treatment starts. Age of individuals eligible to enter should be 20-50 years old. All patients and healthy control volunteers will provide the witnessed written informed consent before entry into the study.
* It has to be noted that differences in the etiology of GHD might influence several of the outcomes we plan to measure. Presence or absence of possible bias should therefore be excluded for each specific outcome prior further statistical data analysis. Individuals with different degree of pituitary deficiency will therefore be eligible to enter the study.
* Complex information on the adequacy of the hormone replacement therapy will be based on the serum levels of growth hormone, insulin-like growth factor 1, free thyroid hormone, testosterone/estradiol, urinary free cortisol FT4, and morning cortisol. Examination and laboratory testing relevant to this study will be performed within 6 months of entering the study. The 24-hour urinary free cortisol will only be determined in individuals hospitalized in a period of two month prior to the study entry.
Exclusion Criteria:
* None of the patients should receive lipid lowering treatment. Patients with malignant disease, diabetes mellitus, existing vascular disease and uncontrolled hypertension are not eligible to enter this study.
