Use of the human growth hormone is common among young American male weightlifters. Additionally, illicit HGH use in this population is often associated with polysubstance abuse involving both performance-enhancing and classical drugs. HGH, once an expensive performance-enhancing drug used exclusively by elite athletes, has become cheaply available for illicit users on the street. Researchers led by Brian P. Brennan, ...]]> http://www.medindia.net/news/Illicit-Use-of-Human-Growth-Hormone-79752-1.htm http://www.medindia.net/news/Human-Growth-Hormone-Helps-Sprinters-Sprint-Faster-68548-1.htm Researchers have shown a positive effect of growth hormone on athletic performance in a new study. It showed a .4 second improvement in a 10-second sprint, enough to turn a last-place Olympic athlete in a sprint event - running or swimming - into a Gold medal winner. The study justifies growth hormone being a banned substance, even though evidence of its performance enhancing effect has been very poor until now. Growth hormone, produced naturally in the body, is important for growth and metabolism....]]> http://www.medindia.net/news/Human-Growth-Hormone-Helps-Sprinters-Sprint-Faster-68548-1.htm http://www.medindia.net/news/Secret-to-Youth-Doesnt-Lie-in-Human-Growth-Hormone-64318-1.htm The secret to lasting youth does not lie in the Human growth hormone (HGH) as many believe, as per a new study. Researchers at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine have found that people, who are deficient in human growth hormone (HGH) due to a genetic mutation, live just as long as people who make normal amounts of the hormone. "Without HGH, these people still live long, healthy lives, and our results don't seem to support the notion that lack of HGH slows or accelerates the aging process," said Dr....]]> http://www.medindia.net/news/Secret-to-Youth-Doesnt-Lie-in-Human-Growth-Hormone-64318-1.htm http://www.medindia.net/news/Middle-Aged-Men-Resort-to-Human-Growth-Hormone-Injections-to-Fight-Ageing-51176-1.htm Many middle aged men are pumping their system with the human growth hormone to keep 'ageing' at bay. Government guidelines state it should only be prescribed to kids with growth disorders and adults with severe hormone deficiencies. However, an investigation has revealed that many anti-ageing clinics in Australia are flouting regulations by prescribing to people as young as 35 who want to look good, stay fit and boost their sex lives. Most are men who use human growth hormone (HGH) to ...]]> http://www.medindia.net/news/Middle-Aged-Men-Resort-to-Human-Growth-Hormone-Injections-to-Fight-Ageing-51176-1.htm http://www.medindia.net/news/US-Researchers-Claim-They-are-Close-to-a-Conclusive-Urine-Test-for-Human-Growth-Hormone-43956-1.htm Two US researchers claim they are close to a conclusive urine test for human growth hormone. Don Catlin, a Los Angeles-based worldwide doping expert who oversaw blood testing for HGH at the Beijing Olympics, and Dr. Lance Liotta, a former pathology lab chief at the National Cancer Institute's Center for Cancer Research, have launched a study to build upon Liotta's ability to identify isolated markers of HGH in urine. "This is a groundbreaking step that'll change the game a bit," Catlin said Monday ...]]> http://www.medindia.net/news/US-Researchers-Claim-They-are-Close-to-a-Conclusive-Urine-Test-for-Human-Growth-Hormone-43956-1.htm http://www.medindia.net/news/view_news_main.asp?x=6252 Human Growth Hormone is chanted as the new anti-ageing mantra. The current research findings pertaining to Human Growth Hormone (HGH) therapy has found some positive results. According to Dr. Anthony Karpos, MD We really have something here which may be able to reverse some of the problems associated with ageing. Researchers from Denmark state, Replacement therapy with Growth Hormone has shown a beneficial/normalizing effect on parameters such as cardiac and renal function, thyroid hormone ...]]> http://www.medindia.net/news/view_news_main.asp?x=6252 http://www.medindia.net/news/view_news_main.asp?x=2499 http://www.medindia.net/news/view_news_main.asp?x=2499
