Detailed explanation-1: -High levels of human growth hormone over a long period can produce irreversible acromegaly, but even smaller doses can lead to complications such as heart disease and diabetes. And because these hormones must be taken as injections, there are further administration risks such as a blood clot or dose error.
Detailed explanation-2: -Possible Side Effects Hip, knee, or other joint pain. Headache. Progression of spine curvature in patients with scoliosis. Temporary increase in blood sugar levels, which stops when the GH treatment stops.
Detailed explanation-3: -Human growth hormone (hGH or GH) is a protein produced in the body that’s important not only during childhood but also throughout adulthood. Growth hormone is produced by the pituitary gland, which is known as the “master gland” because it secretes many hormones that control the actions of other glands.
