Research interest areas that appear in the scientific literature include: Muscle protein synthesis and body composition changes in adults with GH deficiency Recovery from musculoskeletal injury given GHs role in tissue repair Sleep quality, given GHs relationship to slow-wave sleep architecture Metabolic function, particularly lean mass preservation in aging populations Important caveat: most human studies are small, short-term, and conducted in specific populations (often GH-deficient patients)
The pulsatile pattern of release, the preservation of feedback loops, and the activation of multiple receptor systems all contribute to a pharmacological profile that cannot be replicated by simply injecting recombinant growth hormone
