Mean (± SEM) values of mannan-binding lectin (MBL) level in patients with hypopituitarism (n=42) who are on appropriate replacement therapies (compensated hypopituitarism, n=10) vs. inadequate replacement therapies (non-compensated hypopituitarism, n=32) presented in particular subgroups of individuals depending on how many pituitary axes are involved.

	Compensated hypopituitarism (n=10)	Non-compensated hypopituitarism (n=32)
One pituitary deficiency (n=9)	1662.73 ± 581.48 n=5	1494.68 ± 660.73 n=4
Two pituitary deficiencies (n=7)	6562.51 n=1	1042.48 ± 509.37 n=6
Three pituitary deficiencies (n=9)	1736.58 ± 456.18 n=2	1335.99 ± 773.59 n=7
Four pituitary deficiencies (n=12)	2325.82 ± 1061.62 n=2	955.13 ± 439.57 n=10
Five pituitary deficiencies (n=5)	- n=0	507.02 ± 246.51 n=5

Statistical evaluation was performed by Mann-Whitney U test. No statistically significant differences were found.
