Brief summary

Acromegaly, GH deficiency and Cushing's syndrome all alter body protein. The aim was to compare protein metabolism in these 3 conditions to normal subjects, along with how protein metabolism changes following surgical removal of hormone-secreting tumour.

Interventions

Resection of hormone secreting tumour in subjects with acromegaly and Cushing's syndrome only. the study involves observation of people who have undergone surgery as part of their routine medical care.
