Growth hormone (GH) is a protein hormone secreted by the pituitary gland which stimulates growth and cell reproduction.
In the past growth hormone was extracted from human pituitary glands. GH is now produced by recombinant DNA
technology, and prescribed for a variety of reasons.
Growth hormone (GH) is a peptide hormone. It stimulates growth and cell reproduction in humans and other animals. It is
a 191-amino acid, single chain polypeptide hormone which is synthesized, stored, and secreted by the somatotroph cells
within the lateral wings of the anterior pituitary gland. Somatotrophin refers to the growth hormone produced natively in
animals, the term somatropin refers to growth hormone produced by recombinant DNA technology,[1] and is abbreviated
"rhGH" in humans.
This hormone is used clinically to treat children's growth disorders and adult growth hormone deficiency. In recent years,
replacement therapies with human growth hormones (HGH) have become popular in the battle against aging. Reported
effects include decreased body fat, increased muscle mass, increased bone density, increased energy levels, improved
skin tone and texture, and improved immune system function. At this time HGH is still considered a very complex hormone
and many of its functions are still unknown.[2]
In its role as an anabolic agent, HGH has been used by competitors in sports since the 1970s, and it has been banned by
the IOC and NCAA. Traditional urine analysis could not detect doping with HGH, so the ban was unenforceable until the
early 2000s, when blood tests that could distinguish between natural and artificial HGH were developed. Blood tests
conducted by WADA at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece primarily targeted HGH.[2]
HGH is a large, complex protein molecule made up of 191 amino-acid building blocks. It’s produced in the pituitary gland,
a peanut-sized organ in the base of the brain. Scientists first began to focus on the growth hormone in the early 1940s as
they struggled to understand and help a group of children of abnormally short stature who were unable to grow. They
learned that injecting the children with ground-up pituitary glands, harvested from cadavers, could stimulate new growth in
the children.
What they could not have imagined at the time was that some children of the 40s, growing up as the leading edge of the
Boomer generations, would latch on to HGH for a very different purpose that is both illegal and harmful. This small
segment of aging citizens, in search of a “Fountain of Youth,” is now supporting the underground sale of some $2 billion
worth of HGH-related products a year in the United States in hopes that these products will help maintain youthfulness and
promote longevity. The global market is estimated at $64 billion a year and it includes the exercise and fitness industries,
designer beverages and foods, vitamins and supplements, cosmetics and “cosmeceuticals,” and plastic and cosmetic
surgery.
This is how it all started. In 1990, The New England Journal of Medicine quite innocently reported on a study of 21 men,
age 61 to 81, with low levels of a chemical precursor of human growth hormone who were therefore viewed to be deficient
in HGH. Twelve of the men received injections of HGH, and nine went untreated as controls for a six-month period. At the
end of six months, a variety of tests were performed revealing that those receiving the injections had a 14% decrease in
fatty tissue, a 9% increase in lean body mass, and a 1.6% increase in bone density.
There were problems with the study – the small numbers, the short period of observation with limited opportunity to
observe side effects, and the absence of double-blind design (which would have given injections to all, some with and
some without HGH). And those objections were clearly noted in an editorial that accompanied the original article as it
appeared in The New England Journal of Medicine with this caution, “Because there are so many unanswered questions
about the use of growth hormone in the elderly and in adults with growth hormone deficiency, its general use now or in the
immediate future is not justified.”
Apparently, a wide range of traditional and new media health marketers were not closely following these expert words of
caution. Their author, Dr. Mary Lee Vance, wrote 13 years later that that single article “incited a proliferation of ‘anti-aging
clinics’ and lay publications ... extolling the benefits of growth hormone in reversing or preventing aging.”
What do we know today about HGH? First, that as part of normal aging, HGH begins to decline at about age 40 in humans.
Numerous studies since 1990 have confirmed that if you give HGH to older individuals, they do achieve modest increases
in muscle mass and bone density as well as decreases in body fat. But studies also confirm that the drug does not
increase muscle strength, functionality or cellular metabolism. What’s more important is one-quarter to one-half of those
on the injection develop diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, symptoms of arthritis, tissue edema, or carpal
tunnel syndrome as a complication. There is considerable question as well whether inciting cellular growth, at a time
when it naturally slows down, may inadvertently increase the risks of cancers like breast and prostate cancer. And then
there are the animal studies, which show that lifespan goes up and tumor incidence goes down with drops in growth
hormone.
In 2006, there were an estimated 100,000 illegal U.S. Internet purchases per year as well as 213,000 prescriptions written
for HGH in the U.S., 30% or more of which have been written for non-approved purposes such as to combat aging or
enhance athletic performance.
But with Boomers on the roll, it’s hard to get the cat back into the bag. Current editor of The New England Journal of
Medicine, Dr. Jeffrey Drazen stated recently that "If people are induced to buy a ‘human growth hormone releaser’ on the
basis of research published in the Journal, they are being misled.” The National Institute of Aging, the U.S. Senate Special
Committee on Aging, the GAO, Scientific America, and AARP have all raised the alarm as well.
So if you’re a Boomer, or related to one, take heed of these wise words from Mayo Clinic’s geriatrician Paul Takahashi, “It’s
possible that human growth hormone could allow people to be a little bit better for a little bit longer. The question is, at
what price? I think it could be a pretty high price.”
