Abstract
Growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) are important regulators of bone remodelling and metabolism and have an essential role in the achievement and maintenance of bone mass throughout life. Evidence from animal models and human diseases shows that both GH deficiency (GHD) and excess are associated with changes in bone remodelling and cause profound alterations in bone microstructure. The consequence is an increased risk of fractures in individuals with GHD or acromegaly, a condition of GH excess. In addition, functional perturbations of the GH-IGF1 axis, encountered in individuals with anorexia nervosa and during ageing, result in skeletal fragility and osteoporosis. The effect of interventions used to treat GHD and acromegaly on the skeleton is variable and dependent on the duration of the disease, the pre-existing skeletal state, coexistent hormone alterations (such as those occurring in hypogonadism) and length of therapy. This variability could also reflect the irreversibility of the skeletal structural defect occurring during alterations of the GH-IGF1 axis. Moreover, the effects of the treatment of GHD and acromegaly on locally produced IGF1 and IGF binding proteins are uncertain and in need of further study. This Review highlights the pathophysiological, clinical and therapeutic aspects of skeletal fragility associated with perturbations in the GH-IGF1 axis.

Abstract
Derangement of pituitary hormone axes can induce changes in bone remodeling and metabolism with possible alterations in bone microarchitectural structure and increased susceptibility to fractures. Vertebral fractures (VFs), which are a hallmark of skeletal fragility, have been described in a very large number of patients with pituitary diseases. These fractures are clinically relevant, since they predispose to further fractures and may negatively impact on patients' quality of life. However, the management of skeletal fragility and VFs in the specific setting of pituitary diseases is a challenge, since the awareness for this disease is still low, prediction of VFs is uncertain, the diagnosis of VFs cannot be solely based on a clinical approach and also needs a radiological and morphometric approach, the risk of fractures may not be decreased via treatment of pituitary hormone disorders, and the effectiveness of bone-active drugs in this setting is not always evidence-based. This review is an update on skeletal fragility in patients with pituitary diseases, with a focus on clinical and therapeutic aspects concerning the management of VFs.

Association between Visceral Fat and Bone Mineral Density in Both Male and Female Patients with Adult Growth Hormone Deficiency. Biochem Res Int 2020; 2020:5079625. [PMID: 32695511 PMCID: PMC7361891 DOI: 10.1155/2020/5079625] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2019] [Revised: 02/22/2020] [Accepted: 03/26/2020] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Aim Adult growth hormone deficiency (AGHD) is associated with an increased risk of fractures. The interactions between various body composition and bone are known to be complex in nature. However, very few studies have examined this crosstalk in AGHD. In this study, we sought to investigate the relationship between various parameters of body composition and bone mineral density (BMD) as well as determine the role of visceral fat in determining the bone mass in patients with AGHD. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study on 57 patients with AGHD. Anthropometry, biochemistry, and analysis of body composition and BMD were performed according to standard protocols. Male and female patients were classified into those with osteoporosis and those without osteoporosis (normal subjects and patients with osteopenia). Further, we analyzed the correlation between the BMD and measurements obtained for various body composition parameters in male and female AGHD patients. Results Our findings indicated that among female AGHD patients, those with osteoporosis had a significantly higher levels of fat mass (FM) and visceral adipose tissue mass (VATM) (both, P < 0.05) than those without osteoporosis. Further, Pearson correlation analysis showed that the values of age, body mass index (BMI), FM, and VATM correlated negatively with BMD in women with AGHD (all P < 0.05); however, this association was not noted in men. After adjusting for the other covariates, VATM was found to be independently correlated with the BMD in female patients with AGHD. Conclusions A close correlation was noted between VATM and BMD in female patients with AGHD.

Abstract
Neuroendocrinology of bone is a new area of research based on the evidence that pituitary hormones may directly modulate bone remodeling and metabolism. Skeletal fragility associated with high risk of fractures is a common complication of several pituitary diseases such as hypopituitarism, Cushing disease, acromegaly, and hyperprolactinemia. As in other forms of secondary osteoporosis, pituitary diseases generally affect bone quality more than bone quantity, and fractures may occur even in the presence of normal or low-normal bone mineral density as measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, making difficult the prediction of fractures in these clinical settings. Treatment of pituitary hormone excess and deficiency generally improves skeletal health, although some patients remain at high risk of fractures, and treatment with bone-active drugs may become mandatory. The aim of this review is to discuss the physiological, pathophysiological, and clinical insights of bone involvement in pituitary diseases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To provide practical recommendations for evaluation and treatment of osteoporosis associated to endocrine diseases and nutritional conditions. PARTICIPANTS Members of the Bone Metabolism Working Group of the Spanish Society of Endocrinology, a methodologist, and a documentalist. METHODS Recommendations were formulated according to the GRADE system (Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation) to describe both the strength of recommendations and the quality of evidence. A systematic search was made in MEDLINE (Pubmed), using the following terms associated to the name of each condition: AND "osteoporosis", "fractures", "bone mineral density", and "treatment". Papers in English with publication date before 18 October 2011 were included. Current evidence for each disease was reviewed by two group members, and doubts related to the review process or development of recommendations were resolved by the methodologist. Finally, recommendations were discussed in a meeting of the Working Group. CONCLUSIONS The document provides evidence-based practical recommendations for evaluation and management of endocrine and nutritional diseases associated to low bone mass or an increased risk of fracture. For each disease, the associated risk of low bone mass and fragility fractures is given, recommendations for bone mass assessment are provided, and treatment options that have shown to be effective for increasing bone mass and/or to decreasing fragility fractures are listed.
