Research context

Child growth is not an adult fitness result

Children diagnosed with growth-hormone deficiency

What did they want to find out?

Did height-growth rate change during GHRH(1–29) therapy?

What did researchers observe?

Average height-growth rate increased in the children analyzed.

What does this mean for you?

The result is relevant to that diagnosed childhood condition, not general body enhancement.

What we still do not know

There was no randomized comparison, and the analyzed group was smaller than the enrolled group.

Once daily subcutaneous growth hormone-releasing hormone therapy accelerates growth in growth hormone-deficient children during the first year of therapy. Geref International Study Group.

Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism · 1996

How it was studied

Multicenter open-label pediatric study without a randomized control. 110 previously untreated children with GH deficiency; 86 eligible for efficacy analysis.

Study finding

Mean height-growth rate rose from 4.1 cm/year before treatment to 8.0 at six months and 7.2 at twelve months.

Study limitations

Children with a diagnosed deficiency are not healthy adults. This does not show adult muscle gain, better sleep or a verified retail product's effects.

Research context

More nighttime GH, unchanged body composition

Eleven older men studied before and after six weeks

What did they want to find out?

Did hormone changes lead to more muscle or less fat?

What did researchers observe?

Nighttime GH increased, but measured muscle and fat did not; some strength tests improved.

What does this mean for you?

A hormone response and a physical benefit are different outcomes.

What we still do not know

A small uncontrolled study with several tests cannot establish a general adult benefit or retail-product equivalence.

Effects of single nightly injections of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH 1-29) in healthy elderly men

Metabolism · 1997

How it was studied

Uncontrolled before-and-after GHRH(1–29) study lasting six weeks. Eleven men aged 64–76 with low baseline IGF-I.

Study finding

Nighttime GH rose, but IGF-I and measured muscle/fat composition did not. Some strength tests improved.

Study limitations

Small sample, no control and multiple outcomes prevent a general fitness conclusion. Related GHRH(1–29) research is not verification of a current sermorelin vial.

Body composition
How body weight is distributed among tissues such as muscle and fat.
Before-and-after study
The same people are measured before and after; changes can also have other explanations.
