Acne is one of the Side Effects of Human Growth Hormone Therapy
Human growth hormone, administered in the synthetic form can bring about growth and regeneration in cells. The HGH injections are relatively risky compared to the HGH tablets and sprays. Injectible HGH in high dosage and for prolonged periods of time is fraught with certain side effects. Among the negative side effects of the hormone therapy, is acne.
Acne is caused when excess androgens are secreted in the skin of a person. These androgens increase the fatty acid composition, when people perspire. The oil or sebum secretion in the skin also increases with the administration of excess androgens and can lead to acne. It is known that, GH is released in large quantities during adolescence. Acne is most commonly seen in the adolescent stage, and hence, treatment of growth hormone in synthetic form during puberty should be done carefully, with proper dosage and under the physician’s care.
The people suffering from acne have an active and profuse production of dihydrotestosterone and testosterone. Since, the growth hormone is responsible for influencing other hormone functions; GH administration can enhance the synthesis of androgens as well. These androgens in turn, make the skin prone to acne.
It has been found recently, from research studies that skin acts as a steroidogenic tissue. The cholesterol that is synthesized by the skin and sebaceous glands acts as a substrate for the steroid hormones. This conversion is catalyzed by specific proteins. The clinical importance of this study in mediating acne development by the androgens is yet to be established. The effect of estrogens on the development of acne is contradictory to that of androgens. Estrogens are known to reduce the effects of low doses of growth hormone.
The growth hormone triggers the liver and peripheral tissues to synthesize the insulin like growth factors. The IGFs are two types IGF-1 and IGF-2. There is a hypothesis that GH may be involved in acne development. Since, the incidence of acne is high during adolescence, maximum IGF-1 serum levels will act on its receptors of the skin and aid in the growth of sebaceous glands. During excess release of HGH, seborrhea will result, with further development of acne.
