Scientists test if hormone boosts Body's defenses
NCT ID NCT00663611
Summary
This study aimed to understand if giving growth hormone to healthy men could improve how their immune system works. Researchers enrolled 66 healthy men aged 25-50 and gave some of them growth hormone infusions via a small pump under the skin for several weeks, while others received a placebo. The goal was to see if this hormone could make the immune system stronger and also check for any effects on metabolism, like blood sugar control.
