What are the Effects of the Growth Hormone at Puberty?
At puberty, the rate of GH production is high and it increases the speed of growth and development. The maximum percentage of final height of an adult is attained at puberty. After this stage, the rate of hormone secretion decreases gradually with an increase in age.
In Children who show HGH deficiency, stunted growth and delayed puberty, the administration of this hormone artificially, in proper dosages, as well as for optimum duration will yield good results.
A study was conducted by Mauras et al., on the effects of dosage of growth hormone at puberty in 2003. This study was published in the Journal of Hormone Research in Pediatrics. The results of the study revealed that the growth rate increased tremendously and the adult height was reached in these GH deficient patients at puberty. This happened when they were treated with a high dose (0.7 mg/kg/week) of HGH for three years, rather than a normal standard dose (0.3 mg/kg/week). The enhancement in height was observed as 4.6 centimeters in those treated with HGH for three years, while it was 5.7 centimeters in those treated for four years. This shows that the increase in height also depends on the duration of treatment. Development and maturation of bone was observed to occur at normal rate.
The above study was compared with another study conducted by Stanhope et al. He treated children at pre-pubertal stage suffering from idiopathic GH deficiency. After they reached puberty, they were randomized to receive growth hormone treatment with high doses and standard doses. After 4 years of the treatment, the change in growth rate was not seen. The high hormone dosage given during pre-puberty will advance the bone age and trigger hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. There will be poor results for this hormone treatment when given at puberty, for those who have been already treated with this hormone at pre-puberty. If the children have a short stature even after entering puberty, then the dosage of hormone should be increased at puberty. But high doses before puberty are not recommended. In fact, the dosage prescription for this hormone at puberty is endorsed by the FDA.
The pituitary synthesizes and releases growth hormone at puberty, and doing specific exercises and following a high-protein diet regimen also helps the body in releasing adequate HGH during that phase. Secreted in high levels at puberty, it helps in increasing the vertical height of the person. When the person steps into adulthood and has reached his final height, this hormone will help in enhancing performance and slows down the aging process.
