Introduction
Tremendous interest has emerged over recent years on the use of growth
hormone to rejuvenate the body. The press is filled with stories of how
Hollywood stars are using this drug as the latest “fountain of youth? We
seek to distinguish the facts from mere fiction.
Why Hormone Replacement?
One of the primary theories of aging is the neuroendocrine theory. This
theory postulates that the signs of aging coincide with symptoms associated
with the pausing of various organs. For example, pausing of the ovaries,
found in all women, results in menopause and its many symptoms, include
hot flashes. Similarly, the reduced level of testosterone secretion in men
is responsible for the decrease of libido. Pausing of the pancreas leads
to reduced insulin output and diabetes. Slowing of the thyroid gland can
lead to hypothyroidism. Most
major hormones decline with age after reaching a peak around mid twenties.
These include DHEA, 
pregnenolone,
melatonin, and growth hormone. The only hormone that increases with age
is cortisol, also known as the "bad" hormone.
In particular, the growth hormone has
generated worldwide interest. This is due to the amount of recent research,
which shows that healthy aging adults can reverse the physical signs of
aging by as many as 15 years.
