Used first time for human therapy in 1981, human
growth hormone (
HGH)
is a growth-promoting protein that contains about 191 amino
acids. HGH
is produced by the pituitary gland, which is a pea-sized structure
located at the base of your brain. You can also call
HGH as somatrophin.
The hormone is produced by the body naturally to help growth factor in
children and to maintain organs and tissues.
Simply known as
growth
hormone (
GH),
HGH, human chorionic somatomammotropin and
prolactin
(PRL) are a group of homologous hormones that have growth-promoting and
lactogenic activities. The
hormone
is mainly used for treating short children. Recently, it
has also been used by various athletes. Growth hormone is used by all
sportsmen especially athletes to boost their performance in
competitions.
However, the hormone’s main use is to increase muscle size. To fullfill
the requirment of strength and
muscle size in various sports arena,
players use it for its multiple health benefits.
Growth hormone is also
prescribed during hard training workouts because of its ability to quickly recover traumatized muscle tissue. No need to get you so excited my friend.
Despite of its benefits, the hormone is not used in the sports that
required much stamina.
Human Growth hormone is stimulated by
growth hormone releasing hormone,
sleep, exercise, low levels of blood sugar, dietary protein and
increased androgen secretion during puberty while hyperglycemia,
glucocorticoids, somatostatin from periventricular nucleus and any
estrogen are its inhibitors. In addition to these, there are a number
of foreign compounds, known as
xenobiotics, which influence its
secretion and function.
HGH also plays role as an anabolic agent and
because of this particular role it has been banned by the
International
Olympic Committee and the
National Collegiate Athletic Association.
Medically, the hormone is used for the treatment of growth disorders in
children and
adult growth hormone deficiency. However in recent years,
its use in the age replacement therapies have become quite popular
among people. Decreased body fat, improved skin tone and texture, and
increased muscle mass, bone density and energy levels are some of the
resultant effects reported by the users. Growth hormone generally has
anabolic (building up) effects on the body’s tissues. Like other
protein hormones, it also interacts with only a specific receptor
present on the surface of cells.

In addition, some of the other
side effects of growth hormone are
promotion
of lipolysis, stimulating growth of internal organs (except brain),
reduced glucose uptake by liver, fuel homeostasis, gluconeogenesis in
the liver, and increased calcium retention, protein synthesis, muscle
mass through sarcomere hyperplasia and mineralization of bone.
According to a clinical studies survey, published in early 2007,
conducted by the
Stanford University School of Medicine, the
application of human growth hormone on healthy elderly patients can
increase muscle by about 2 kg and decrease body fat too by the same
amount.
However, like other natural protein and synthetic drugs, growth hormone
also has its side effects that mainly occur both in excess and
deficiency conditions. First of all focus on its excess side
effects. The most common
problem that can be caused due to excess use of
HGH is a pituitary tumor. Severe headache, weak vision due to optic
nerves pressure and deficiency of other pituitary hormones are some
other common problems caused by the excess of the hormone. Besides
these, excess of
GH for prolonged period can cause thickening of jaw
bones, fingers and toes resulting to acromegaly.
Similarly the growth hormone deficiency also caused various problems.
Normal growth failure and short stature are the major symptoms of its
deficiency in children. In some cases, the hormone can cause delayed
onset of sexual maturity. However, deficiency is rare in adults but if
occur then the most common is pituitary adenoma. Apart from deficiency,
regular application of GH may also report several negative side effects
like swelling and pain of joints, carpal tunnel syndrome and an
increased risk of diabetes.
Human growth hormone or growth hormone is produced by the body in
natural way. But in the cases where body fails to generate enough level
of the hormone, it is given through secondary (external) mediums, like
treatment therapies and side products. Recently, there are various
growth hormone treatments and products available in the market.
Serostim,
Saizen,
Nutropin, Humatrope and GHR100 some of the common
brand names of
HGH. However, the dosage of growth hormone varied from
different products to different requirement of patients.
