Summary

The investigator put forward the hypothesis that liver fat mass in patients with pituitary gland failure is greater than that in a control population. Failure of the anterior pituitary and more particularly impaired production of growth hormone (GH) could be the principal mechanism responsible for increased liver fat mass in these patients.
