Serum IGF-I levels were analyzed using a solid-phase enzyme labeled chemiluminescent immunometric assay with an IMMULITE 1000 analyzer (Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics Products Ltd., Llanberis, Gwynedd, UK) with an intra-assay coefficient of variation (CV) of 3.1%–4.3%. The IGF-I international reference preparation was 87/518. GH serum levels were determined using a solid-phase two-site immunometric chemiluminescent assay with an IMMULITE 1000 analyzer (Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics Products Ltd., Llanberis, Gwynedd, UK) with inter- and intra-assay CVs of 5.5%–6.2% and 5.3%–6.5%, respectively. The international reference preparation for GH was 98/574.
The IGF-I and GH levels obtained in the last measurement were considered for the definition of disease control. The controlled disease cases were defined as those in which the patient presented a baseline GH level < 1 mg/L and an IGF-I level within the normal range for their age and sex [17 (link)].

Fasting venous blood samples were collected for measurement of blood hemoglobin, serum urea, creatinine, calcium, phosphate, intact parathyroid hormone, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), albumin, cholesterol, triglyceride, fetuin-A, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP), and cardiac troponin. Intact parathyroid hormone was measured by Immulite 1000 Analyzer (Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics, Deerfield, IL). hs-CRP was measured using the Tina-quant C-reactive protein latex ultra-sensitive assay. Albumin was measured using the bromcresol purple method, and total cholesterol and triglyceride were measured by the Hitachi 911 analyzer (Roche Diagnostics GmbH, Mannheim, Germany). High-density lipoprotein-cholesterol was measured by the precipitation of Apo B containing lipoproteins with phosphotungstate, and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol was calculated using the Friedewald formula. Serum fetuin-A was determined using a human fetuin-A enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit (Epitope Diagnostics, San Diego, CA). NT-pro-BNP and cardiac troponin T were quantified by electrochemiluminescence immunoassay on the Elecsys 2010 analyzer (Roche Diagnostics, Indianapolis, IN).

Serum and urine samples were immediately stored at −20°C for subsequent analysis. Serum TSH, FT4, TT4, TT3, and anti-TPO were estimated by the Chemiluminescence technique using commercially available kits from Siemens Diagnostics (Germany) with Immulite-1000 analyzer. The analytical sensitivity and total precision values for TSH, FT4, TT4, and TT3 assays were 0.01 μIU/ml and 2.2%, 0.35 ng/dl and 2.7%, 0.4 μg/dl and 2.5%, and 35ng/dl and 2.2%, respectively. The laboratory reference ranges were TSH (0.4–4 μIU/ml), FT4 (0.8–1.9 ng/dl), TT4 (4.5–12 μg/dl), TT3 (81–178 ng/dl), and the interassay coefficients of variation (CV) for the assays were 8.9%, 5.5%, 6.7%, and 9.3%, respectively. The corresponding values for interassay CV, total precision, and analytical sensitivity for anti-TPO were 10.5%, 7.6%, and 7 IU/ml. Anti-TPO Ab was considered elevated if levels were >35 IU/ml. Urinary iodine concentration (UIC) was determined in all participants by the ammonium persulfate method based on the Sandell–Kolthoff reaction. The interassay CV for UIC was 4%.[20 (link)] The UIC <150 μg/L in pregnant women was taken as evidence of insufficient iodine intake.[21 ]

Comprehensive Biomarker Analysis of Fasting Plasma

Blood samples were obtained in a fasting state in the morning the day before the surgical procedure, and stored in -80°C. Interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, TNF, IGF-1 and testosterone were analysed by immunometric assays on an Immulite 1000 Analyzer (Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics, Los Angeles, CA, USA) according to the instructions of the manufacturer. Plasma pentosidine was analysed by reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The following biomarkers were analysed with ELISA technique; 8-OHdG (Japan Institute for the Control of Aging, Shizuoka, Japan), osteoprotegerin (OGP) (Quidel Corporation, San Diego, CA, USA), human soluble α-Klotho (Immuno-Biological Laboratories Co., Ltd, Fujioka-shi, Japan), C-terminal FGF-23 (Immutopics Inc, San Clemente, CA, USA), Human N-MID Osteocalcin ELISA (IDS Nordic a/s, Herlev, Denmark), GLA-OC) and GLU-OC (Takara Bio Inc, Kusatsu, Japan). N-MID OC ELISA measuring total OC is more stable and reproducible than assays measuring intact OC only. Analyses of hsCRP, intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), plasma cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL-cholesterol, creatinine, albumin, calcium, magnesium, phosphate, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), 25(OH) and 1,25(OH) D-vitamin were performed with validated routine methods at the accredited Clinical Chemical Laboratory Lab at the Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden.

Routine laboratory tests. The blood routine, liver and kidney function, heart function, coagulation function and infection markers were performed by automated analyzers according to the manufacturers' instructions.
Real time RT-PCR. The clinical samples obtained from patients at admission or during the hospital stay were maintained in viral-transport medium. SARS-CoV-2 was confirmed by using TaqMan One-Step RT-PCR Kits from Shanghai Huirui Biotechnology Co.,Ltd and Shanghai BioGerm Medical Biotechnology Co.,Ltd. Briefly, RNA was extracted from clinical samples. 5 μL of RNA was used for real-time RT-PCR, which targeted the ORF1ab and N gene. Real-time RT-PCR was performed using the following conditions: 50 °C for 15 min and 95 °C for 5 min, 45 cycles of amplification at 95 °C for 10 s and 55 °C for 45 s. The positive SARS-CoV-2 real time RT-PCR result was defined if both ORF1ab and N cycle thresholds were <35.
Cytokine profile analysis. Serum samples were collected from study participants. The levels of IL-1β, IL-2R, IL-8, IL-10, and TNF-α in serum were measured according to an automatic procedure of a solid-phase two-site chemiluminescent immunometric assay via IMMULITE 1000 Analyzer (Siemens).
