Primary Outcome(s)
Main Objective: The main objective of the trial is to assess if the application of the cholinesterase inhibitor donezpezil results in an increase secretion of growth hormone and IGF-1 and if this effect is sustained.
Secondary Objective: Seconary objectives are to investigate effects of an increased growth hormone/IGF-1 secretion on selected age related alterations of body composition and functional decline (e.g. bone mineral density, muscle function, fat mass, serum lipids, cognitive function, depression).
Primary end point(s): IGF-1 serum levels
