Summary
This study looked at whether giving growth hormone to healthy men aged 25 to 50 could improve their immune system function. Researchers used an infusion pump to deliver either growth hormone or a placebo over several weeks. The goal was to understand how growth hormone affects the body's defenses, not to treat a disease.
