Growth hormone (GH) increases lean body mass, reduces fat mass, increases exercise tolerance and maximum oxygen uptake, enhances muscle strength, and improves linear growth. Long-term studies of GH administration offer conflicting results regarding its safety, which has led to strict FDA criteria for GH use. The potential drawbacks of exogenous GH use are thought to be due in part to impaired regulatory feedback.
