- W2017110445 abstract "We have known about growth hormone for many years. Its natural role in growth and maintaining body mass is well documented. As a study (p 70) and an editorial (p 58) in this week's BMJ show there is interest in its use to treat potentially stunted growth.There has been little research into the effect of growth hormone therapy on adult height and the internet reflects this. Although there are a few good sites about growth hormone therapy for adults, these are likely to be of more use to general practitioners looking for somewhere to direct worried patients than to paediatricians and other specialists, who are likely to be already familiar with much of the information.One such site, which contains a concise account of growth hormone physiology and use, is http://arbl.cvmbs.colostate.edu/hbooks/pathphys/endocrine/hypopit/gh.html. This site is actually part of an online textbook produced by Colorado State University in the United States and there are also sections on other hormones and diseases. The site is still being built so there are some pieces of information lacking.Another stop for information on pathologies and treatments in adults regarding human growth hormone is http://neurosurgery.mgh.harvard.edu/e-f-944.htm, a site based at Harvard University and maintained by the Neuroendocrine Clinical Centre and Pituitary Tumor Centre.If your patients still want to know more, why not try The Pituitary Foundation? www.pituitary.org.uk/sitemap.shtml takes you to the foundation's colourful homepage, where there are clear links to sections on human growth hormone deficiencies and replacement therapies.It's worth noting that human growth hormone isn't only used for growth problems. Patients are becoming ever more informed and they may ask you about the use of growth hormone in a strictly non-medical setting. For example, some companies now offer the promise of “rapid weight loss, younger looking skin, feeling revitalised and increased sexual potency.” You can visit www.flyhost.net/betterhealth to get an idea of the kind of things patients might want to know about. How exactly a “wrinkle reduction of 61%” is proven is unclear but the use of human growth hormone precursor for such things is apparently based on a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1990 (http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/abstract/323/1/1)." @default.
