Context: The GH/IGF-I axis has important interactions with the alimentary system and the balance between estimated energy intake (EEI) and estimated energy requirement (EER). Reduced EEI has been described in adult onset acquired GH deficiency, associated to other pituitary deficits. Individuals with isolated growth hormone deficiency (IGHD) due to a homozygous mutation (c.57+1G→A) in the GHRH receptor gene, living in Itabaianinha County in Brazil Northeastern, have abdominal obesity, without insulin resistance. EEI and EER are unknown in this unique cohort. Objectives: To evaluate EEI and EER in this IGHD cohort. Methods: Cross-sectional study of 24 IGHD individuals and 23 adult controls from the same region, matched for age and gender....
