serum levels of growth hormone in hypercholestelaemic patients ( n = 3 ) were significantly higher than those of normolipidaemic patients and combined hyperlipidaemic patients ( n = 5 tended to have higher levels of growth hormone than normolipidaemic patients . in cases developing type iii or type v hyperlipoproteinaemia , the activity of hepatic triglyceride lipase of lipoprotien lipase was decreased , but in increased when serum gh levels fell after therapy for acromegaly . it is suggested that 1 ) growth hormone may play some role on the pathogenesis of hyperlipidaemia associated with acromegaly , and 2 ) growth hormone has an inhibitory effect on h-tgl and lpl , and so hyperlipoproteinaemia in some cases of acromegaly might be caused by low h-tgl or lpl activity resulting from high growth hormone levels .
