Human Growth Hormone (HGH), also known as somatotropin, is a peptide hormone produced by the pituitary gland. It has several important medical uses and benefits:
Medical Uses of HGH
-
Growth Hormone Deficiency:
- Children: HGH is commonly used to treat children with growth hormone deficiency, helping them achieve normal height and growth. This includes conditions such as Turner syndrome and chronic kidney disease.
- Adults: In adults, HGH can help improve muscle mass, reduce body fat, and enhance overall well-being. It is used to treat adult growth hormone deficiency, which can result in reduced muscle mass, increased body fat, and decreased quality of life (Cleveland Clinic) (Bodybuilding.com).
-
Muscle Wasting Diseases:
- HIV/AIDS: HGH is approved for use in treating muscle wasting associated with HIV/AIDS. It helps increase lean body mass and improve physical strength in affected individuals (Mayo Clinic) (Wikipedia).
-
Short Bowel Syndrome:
- HGH can be used to treat short bowel syndrome, a condition where patients are unable to absorb nutrients properly due to the removal of a significant portion of the small intestine (Mayo Clinic).
-
Aging and Body Composition:
- Although not officially approved for anti-aging, HGH is sometimes used off-label to improve body composition by increasing muscle mass and reducing fat mass. However, its efficacy and safety for this purpose are not well established, and it can come with significant risks, including joint pain, insulin resistance, and increased risk of certain cancers (Cleveland Clinic) (Mayo Clinic).
Administration and Dosage
HGH is administered via injection, typically subcutaneously. Dosages vary depending on the condition being treated and the individual’s response to therapy. For growth hormone deficiency, dosages are tailored based on the patient's weight and response to treatment.
