HGH side effects
At the annual conference of the endocrine society (Endocrine Society), held in San Francisco, USA, John Hawk (John Kopchick) and Juan Ding (Juan Ding) at the University of Ohio (Ohio University) presented a report on the use of the four proteins as markers of excess growth hormone .
Detect growth hormone (hGH) in human blood is not so simple: it breaks through the entire 15 minutes. after isolation. The techniques used today to measure the level of this hormone, is far from perfect, because the age and sex have a strong influence on the result. “If you compare the blood 18 years of Olympic athlete and 38-year-old athlete, you’ll see a big difference in the content of insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1),” says Hawk. “Thus, it is very difficult to determine the rate of growth hormones for all cases.
Team Hawk decided to approach the problem from another side: experience is familiar to laboratory mice, they determined that the introduction of an artificial hormone, hGH increases levels of four proteins in blood plasma: apoA1, transtiretina, apolipoprotein J, and albumin.
The use of growth hormone in bodybuilding and anti-aging therapy is controversial status. For example, Professor Thomas Perls (Thomas Perls) from Boston University School of Medicine (Boston University School of Medicine), engaged for the past decade, the issue of doping, said: “There is irrefutable evidence that the side effects of growth hormones outweighed the aesthetic effect. Moreover, hGH was adopted as part of a hormonal cocktail, unsafe for the body.
Despite the warnings of Professor Perls, Doping industry today is extremely successful, its annual turnover of $ 2 billion in Russia, according to a special presidential decree, from February 2007 to fight against doping is declared a matter of national security.
