The modulation of platelet function by growth hormone in growth hormone deficient Hypopituitary patients

Abstract Background Growth hormone deficiency (GHD) has been implicated in increased cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease risk seen in hypopituitarism, however the mechanism remains speculative. We hypothesise that platelet abnormalities may play a contributory role. Herein we examined platele...
