N2 - Growth hormone (GH) replacement therapy is presently utilized in the treatment of adult GH deficiency (AGHD). Adult responses to GH treatment are highly variable and, apart from measurement of IGF-I, few tools are currently available for monitoring GH treatment progress. As GH receptors are expressed in certain blood cell types, changes in gene expression in peripheral blood can reflect perturbations induced as a result of GH therapy.
