Scientists probe if growth hormone makes kids age faster

NCT ID NCT06294860

Summary

This study aimed to understand if growth hormone replacement therapy affects the biological aging process in children. Researchers measured DNA markers related to aging in 10 children with growth hormone deficiency before and after 6 months of standard hormone treatment. The goal was to gather knowledge about how this common therapy might influence aging at a cellular level, not to test a new treatment.
