  1. Indications
    1. Medical Uses
      1. Used to enhance growth in Short Stature
    2. Illicit uses
      1. Ergogenic Aid used by athletes
      2. Similar effect as with Anabolic Steroids
        1. Difficult to detect
        2. Expensive (>$1000/month)
  2. Mechanism
    1. Liver converts GH to Insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1)
    2. Precursor to testosterone
  3. Source
    1. Initially derived from cadavers in 1950's
      1. Transmitted Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease to patients
    2. Now produced by recombinant genetics
      1. Genentech developed Somatrem (Protropin) in 1990s
  4. Dosing
    1. Available only via injection
  5. Adverse Effects
    1. Growth-hormone induced Myopathy
      1. Muscles hypertrophy, but are weaker than before
    2. Acromegaly
    3. Diabetes Mellitus
    4. Cardiomyopathy
    5. Congestive Heart Failure
    6. May be related to Leukemia development

Somatropin (C0169964)

Definition (MSH) A 191-amino acid polypeptide hormone secreted by the human adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR), also known as GH or somatotropin. Synthetic growth hormone, termed somatropin, has replaced the natural form in therapeutic usage such as treatment of dwarfism in children with growth hormone deficiency.

Growth Hormone (C0037663)

Definition (NCI) A protein made by the pituitary gland that helps control body growth and the use of glucose and fat in the body.
Definition (MSH) A polypeptide that is secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). Growth hormone, also known as somatotropin, stimulates mitosis, cell differentiation and cell growth. Species-specific growth hormones have been synthesized.
Definition (CSP) polypeptide that is secreted by the anterior pituitary gland; affects protein, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism; stimulates mitosis, cell differentiation and cell growth.
Definition (NCI) A peptide hormone secreted by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland and regulates several physiologic processes, including growth and metabolism.
