To read the full abstract: Nature 2017, 542, 450–455Adipose tissue is no longer considered a passive energy store. Instead, it is well established as an important endocrine contributor. Here, the authors comprehensively show that the function of the adipose tissue as an endocrine organ is not limited to classical adipokines, but also includes miRNAs and maybe other non-coding RNAs.

Brief summary: This multicenter, randomized, controlled, phase 3 study compared the effects of long-acting GH (Somapacitan; 0.16 mg/kg/wk) with daily GH (Norditropin; 0.034 mg/kg/d), in GHD children. The trial was conducted over 52 weeks, followed by an ongoing 3-year single-group extension period. Similar efficacy and safety for somapacitan compared to daily GH was demonstrated over 52 weeks of treatment.Long-acting growth hormone (LAGH) formulations ha...
