The purpose of this study is to investigate if co-treatment of acromegalic patients, who beforehand are considered well-controlled on SA monotherapy, with pegvisomant and SA will improve insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance, and if these effects of co-treatment can be obtained at a neutral cost as compared to SA mono therapy.
Second to investigate body composition, substrate metabolism, symptoms, intrahepatic and intramyocellular fat.
