Truncal Distribution of Fat Mass, Metabolic Profile and Hypothalamic-Pituitary Adrenal Axis Activity in Prepubertal Obese Children

To investigate whether truncal distribution of fat mass (TDFM) is associated with variations of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical (HPA) axis activity in prepubertal obese children. TDFM, assessed with dual energy X-ray absorptiometry and a comprehensive set of measures of HPA axis activity a...
