Health Condition(s) or Problem(s) studied
Hypopituitarism refers to decreased secretion of pituitary hormones, which can result from diseases of the pituitary gland or from diseases of the hypothalamus, which cause diminished secretion of hypothalamic releasing hormones, thereby reducing secretion of the corresponding pituitary hormones.
Intervention(s)

Trade Name: Trisequens
Pharmaceutical Form: Film-coated tablet

Trade Name: Testogel
Pharmaceutical Form: Gel

Trade Name: Genotropin MiniQuick
Pharmaceutical Form: Powder and solvent for solution for injection

Primary Outcome(s)
Main Objective: To compare the effects of sex hormone replacement therapy to growth hormone replacement in the hypopituitary population using markers of platelet and endothelial function
To characterise differences in platelet hyperreactivity between genders in a dose dependent manner and a significant difference in platelet gene expression between genders and following replacement with HRT.
Secondary Objective: To assess whether sex hormone replacement has measurable effects on markers of platelet function and endothelial function
To assess whether growth hormone replacement has measurable effects on markers of platelet function and endothelial function
To assess for measurable differences in platelet function between genders
To quantify oestrogen receptor numbers pre and post hormone replacement
Primary end point(s): Percentage change in platelet aggregation in response to different agonists pre and post hormone replacement
