HGH Doctor: Real Medical Facts from Real Medical Journals

What is the effect on humans that take human growth hormones (HGH)?

Human growth hormone is secreted from the anterior pituitary gland and is active throughout life, but highly so during childhood and adolescence. It has numerous effects; it causes cells to grow by directly increasing the number of amino acids that enter cells, stimulating protein anabolism, anddecreases protein catabolism. It also stimulates lipolysis (breakdown of fat) to produce ATP, or energy. It also increases glucose utilization bycells and accelerates the breakdown of glycogen stored in the liver intoglucose.

So in general, it makes energy and building blocks available for growth. It stimulates the growth of long bones and muscle development as well. Some people want to give extra hGH to children that are of normal height to allow them to grow taller. Studies done on elderly men show that hGH has an anti-aging effect by making slowing the degeneration of tissues.
