Abstract

The article presents the results of study aimed to evaluation of relationship between leptin, insulin, testosterone, and sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) levels, Caro's index, lipid profile, and anthropometric parameters in 65 patients with pubertal adolescent's dispituitarism. The trend toward lower leptin level against the background of hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance, and lower levels of testosterone and SHBG was noted in this category of patients.
