HGH 90

Human Growth Hormone (HGH), also known as somatropin, is a peptide hormone produced by the anterior pituitary gland, playing a critical role in growth, metabolism, and tissue regeneration. Recombinant HGH is used clinically to treat growth hormone deficiency (GHD) in children and adults, Turner syndrome, chronic kidney disease-related growth failure, and muscle-wasting conditions such as HIV-associated cachexia. HGH exerts its effects both directly and indirectly by stimulating the hepatic production of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), which mediates growth-promoting actions on bone, cartilage, and soft tissues. It also influences lipid metabolism, glucose homeostasis, and protein synthesis. Therapeutic administration is typically subcutaneous and requires individualized dosing based on age, indication, and body weight. Adverse effects may include edema, arthralgia, insulin resistance, and, rarely, intracranial hypertension. In adults, long-term monitoring is essential due to the potential for metabolic and cardiovascular complications.
