Nutritional assessment of metabolic syndrome patients with hypopituitarism secondary to pituitary adenomas

Résumé fourni par la source

Hypopituitarism, a condition in which the pituitary gland does not produce one or more of its hormones, may cause increased visceral fat deposition, dyslipidemia and decreased muscle mass. Metabolic syndrome is highly prevalent in hypopituitarism, being a complex disorder consisting of metabolic abnormalities, such as central obesity, dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia and hypertension. We performed clinical, laboratory and nutrition assessment in patients with hypopituitarism, pituitary adenomas and metabolic syndrome, attending a tertiary clinic in southern Brazil.
