Potential therapeutic effects (based on animal and early human data): Enhances tendon, ligament, and muscle repair Promotes angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels) Reduces inflammation and oxidative stress Protects gut mucosa and may aid in GI disorders (ulcers, leaky gut) May support neurological recovery and joint health Modulates nitric oxide and dopamine/serotonin pathways (possible mood, focus benefits) (Note: Most data are from preclinical studies
Key Points The growth hormone (GH)insulin-like growth factor (IGF) axis consists of central neuro-anatomical, regulatory and genetic systems, and the peripheral intracellular GH signalling pathway The introduction of recombinant human GH (rhGH) in 1985 ended the phase of pituitary-derived human growth hormone (hGH) and its associated limitations and risks, opening the possibility of widespread clinical use GH deficiency (GHD) is a syndrome with many different causes and is associated with alterations in growth, body composition and metabolism In some non-GHD short stature disorders, rhGH has been proved effective and is used as a surrogate for the currently unknown, pathophysiologically appropriate treatment Risks of hGH therapy might relate to its direct effects on growth, its anti-insulin action and its cell-proliferating activity
The lumbar spine is more flexible than other parts of the spine, making it more prone to strain and overuse
