Human Growth Hormone (HGH), or somatotropin, is a peptide hormone that promotes growth, cell reproduction, and regeneration in both humans and animals. It acts as a mitogen specifically for certain cell types. HGH is a single-chain polypeptide composed of 191 amino acids, produced, stored, and released by somatotropic cells located in the anterior pituitary gland's lateral wings. The secretion of Human Growth Hormone is influenced by various factors, including nutrition and physical activity.
HGH encourages body cells to grow larger and increases the rate of cell division. It also facilitates the transport of amino acids across cell membranes and enhances the conversion of these amino acids into proteins, leading to an anabolic effect that promotes muscle building. Additionally, Human Growth Hormone can decrease the rate at which cells use carbohydrates while boosting fat utilization. Research has shown fat loss and increased lean mass with doses as low as 0.028 iu/kg daily over a span of 24 weeks, and it also promotes the production of IGF-1.
In medicine, HGH is used to address growth disorders in children and adult growth hormone deficiency. Studies have consistently shown the following beneficial effects of regulating HGH levels:
Several studies focused on patients with HGH deficiency indicate its significant role in mental and emotional well-being, helping to maintain high energy levels. Adults with HGH deficiency often experience higher rates of depression compared to those without.
Additionally, research has examined HGH's effects on cognitive function, particularly regarding learning and memory. It appears that HGH may enhance cognitive abilities and could be beneficial for individuals suffering from cognitive impairment due to HGH deficiency.
Since at least 1982, HGH has been misused by athletes seeking a competitive edge. While it can facilitate substantial weight and muscle gains, it doesn't significantly improve strength. Competitors from the 1970s and especially the 1980s achieved a more sculpted appearance reminiscent of classical sculptures. It can be reasonably assumed that these athletes did not incorporate additional cardio into their routines or increase their intake of lean proteins.
HGH tends to show greater effects and benefits when used in conjunction with a steroid cycle rather than on its own, making it particularly suitable for cutting cycles aimed at achieving lean muscle and reducing fat.
